Plans for 7.6-acre site haven't been determined

Froedtert Health purchased the former Wisconsin Heart Hospital property in Wauwatosa for $25 million, according to state records. Specific plans for the site, a 7.6-acre campus located about a mile from Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin’s academic medical center campus, haven’t been determined yet. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare closed the hospital in 2016, shortly after the health system became part of Ascension Wisconsin. The 30-bed campus, which opened in 2004 as a joint venture of the Covenant Helathcare System and a coalition of physicians and private investors, cost $44 million to build. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare bought out its partners in 2006 and became sole owner of the Heart Hospital. Cathy Jacobson, president and chief executive officer of Froedtert Health, said the acquisition of the property was driven by the increased demand for services at the health system’s flagship hospital. She said Froedtert has been using various tactics at its hospitals to alleviate capacity constraints, including adding access points for urgent and emergency care. Share

Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-All Saints names new president

New organization would be nation's 10th largest nonprofit health care system
https://www.biztimes.com/2017/industries/healthcare-wellness/aurora-health-care-to-merge-with-advocate-health-care/
Milwaukee-based Aurora Health Care and Advocate Health Care of Downers Grove, Illinois announced plans today to merge in a union that would create the 10th largest nonprofit health care system in the United States. Both Aurora Health Care and Advocate Health Care are the largest health systems in their respective states. Under the merger, each system would maintain its current headquarters and continue to use its current name, according to a news release. Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center at South 27th Street and West Oklahoma Avenue in Milwaukee. The combined system, which would operate as Advocate Aurora Health, would have annual revenues of about $11 billion and serve nearly 3 million patients annually. It would operate 27 hospitals and more than 500 sites of care, and employ more than 73,000 people. The plan calls for a single board of directors with an equal number of members from Advocate and Aurora. Nick Turkal, who’s led Aurora since 2006, and Jim Skogsbergh, president and chief executive officer of Advocate, would serve as co-CEOs. The two systems currently share ownership of ACL Laboratories. “For the communities in Illinois and Wisconsin that we serve and for our two organizations, this is an unprecedented opportunity to shape our future and better serve patients,” Turkal said. “We are fortunate that our organizations are coming together from unique and complementary positions of strength, particularly at a time of evolving industry dynamics. Working together, we will deliver on the promise of value for the people who receive, provide and pay for health care.”
The boards of directors from each system approved the plan and announced the decision to employees today. The agreement is subject to state and federal regulatory review and approval, including the Federal Trade Commission and agencies within Illinois and Wisconsin. Closing is expected by mid-year 2018. “This merger is about transforming care delivery and reimagining the possibilities of health as bigger meets better and size meets value to benefit consumers,” Skogsbergh said. “By joining forces we will be able to expand our network to scale innovation and create a destination in the Midwest for patients and the talented clinicians who care for them.”
Under the plan, Joanne Disch, current Aurora board chair, will chair the Advocate Aurora Health board of directors during the first year of operation and Michele Richardson, who currently chairs the Advocate board, will assume leadership for the second year. It’s the latest in a larger trend of health system mergers across the country and locally. In 2016, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare officially joined long-time competitor Columbia St. Mary’s, combining its operations and corporate services under the Ascension Health umbrella. Wauwaotsa-based Froedtert Health recently expanded its affiliation with Kenosha’s United Hospital System in a new agreement effective this fall, in which United Hospital System adopted the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin brand and changed its name to Froedtert South.

“Ascension saw an increase in volume and revenue for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2016, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the addition of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare – southeast Wisconsin facilities,” Ascension said in a press release. Ascension’s outpatient volume increased 8.5 percent primarily due to the Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare acquisition. Glendale-based Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare’s Wisconsin business joined Ascension March 1. Ascension combined Wheaton Franciscan with Ascension’s two other Wisconsin health care systems Columbia St. Mary’s and Ministry Health Care and is now the second-largest health care system in Wisconsin behind Milwaukee-based Aurora Health Care. Bernie Sherry leads Ascension Wisconsin from the offices in Glendale that used to house Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare’s company headquarters. Ascension had 141,159 full-time-equivalent employees as of Sept. 30, an increase of 11,381 from a year earlier. Ascension has eliminated jobs in metro Milwaukee and laid off an undisclosed number of employees since acquiring Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare.
