ThedaCare recently changed the names of both of its Fox Cities hospitals – ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Appleton (formerly Appleton Medical Center) and ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah (formerly Theda Clark Medical Center. With the new names and branding comes more clear external and internal way finding. To better help patients navigate their care before they arrive at either hospital, ThedaCare is announcing the new names of key entrances and buildings.
As more and more people learn about the ThedaCare exploration of bringing together our two Fox Cities hospitals into one regional medical center, I’m hearing that folks are open to the possibilities.

One idea that’s frequently mentioned is the value a new regional medical campus contributes to attracting new businesses, and top-notch talent to the area.
