Demolition of the former Juliette Manor nursing home, and prior site of the original hospital in Berlin at 169 E. Huron Street, will begin next month said John Gijsen, director of facilities management-system locations for ThedaCare. “This building is an important part of the history of the community; but due to its age and specialized use, it is more cost effective to remove the building than repurpose the facility.”
ThedaCare At Home Hospice provides four-legged volunteers that offer a unique service to help ease stress and anxiety among patients.

As the temperature goes up, exercising outside becomes more challenging. Hot and humid weather already has your body working hard to keep the core temperature normal and once you start exercising, keeping your temperature in check becomes even more difficult. But warm temperatures don’t mean you need to skip your exercise: you just need to prepare and stay well hydrated.
As caregivers, it is vital that we listen to our parents, not our biological parents, but those of our pediatric patients, and especially so with children with special needs.
April 24, 2015, is a day that Donald and Edna Nadler won’t soon forget. Spring was in the air, and the husband and wife duo were in their familiar place, outside working in the yard and by the lake. Lifelong Lake Winnebago residents, Don, 83, and Edna, 81, have enjoyed living the lake life. Whether it be maintaining their own yard (Edna cuts the grass and Don does the trimming), working in their big garden, or sturgeon spearing, with each having their own ice shack, they simply enjoy every part of lake living.

The award recognizes the comprehensive work of hospitals that achieve or exceed the goals of the true donor conversion rate, which measures the percent of medically eligible donors that become donors, and organs transplanted per donor. To receive the gold award, ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah had a true conversation rate of at least 75 percent and organs transplanted per donor rate average of 3.25.
By the end of this summer, all of our ThedaCare facilities will have the same brand identity. When our facilities in Wild Rose and Berlin join the rest of the system with new names that include ThedaCare, easily recognizable signs, and stories and photos that tell of our local impact, patients throughout the nine counties we serve can experience the peace of mind that they’re at the right place for the best health care – no matter where they live.
