When the hospital where we had our first three kids discontinued its OB Department, we had to find a new place to have our fourth. I talked to other mothers and they recommended the ThedaCare facility in Shawano, which was perfect for us.
With the vision of enhancing comprehensive cancer care for Northeast and Central Wisconsin, ThedaCare announced today that it has signed an agreement with the intent to acquire the assets of the physician group Fox Valley Hematology & Oncology, S.C. (“FVHO”) by June 4, 2018.

At the age of 12, I earned my first CPR certification. My mom encouraged me to become a certified lifeguard three years later. Both training programs increased my confidence, providing me with the necessary skills and knowledge to help someone if he or she needed it.
I’d recommend ThedaCare, hands down. I knew I’d get the right treatment here. I knew everything would be up-to-date and state-of-the-art. Also, it was nice to get to know the people at the hospital.
