DEPRECATED – Use Organizational News going forward – 01/21
Residents of the new 37-bed Juliette Manor, 482 Oak Street in Berlin, move in on Thursday, June 9. The new facility replaces the Juliette Manor that has been in the downtown Berlin location since 1964. It was the original Berlin Hospital built in 1935.
Tim and Adam Lenth know they make a unique pair. The ThedaStar air medical flight nurses are the only father-son duo in the state, and possibly nation, to work together on an air medical helicopter.
ThedaCare announced changes to its management teams today at Wild Rose Community Memorial Hospital and ThedaCare Medical Center-Waupaca to align the organizations for the future. Craig Kantos will become the CEO for both the Wild Rose and Waupaca campuses. Dawn Shuman, RN, will shift from her role as CEO at Wild Rose Community Memorial Hospital to become the Director of Nursing and Patient Care for both Wild Rose and Waupaca hospitals.
ThedaStar Air Medical will celebrate its 30th anniversary during a June 8 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Game at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute.
This summer, the ThedaCare Berlin Gift Shop introduces more gifts than ever.
When the first call came in to ThedaStar on June 6, 1986, I am sure the process of a helicopter response and information gathering was totally different than the process today. Think for a minute … you have a motor vehicle crash and need to pinpoint coordinates for a scene. This was accomplished the only way they were able to: with an aviation chart map. There were no advanced computer systems to find this information, like today. You would log the call by hand, writing the information in a logbook.
Coming into a hospital can be nerve-wracking. A visitor might be nervous about a pending procedure or may feel overwhelmed with the idea of having to navigate their way around a new place. But the lobby escorts at ThedaCare Medical Center-Waupaca are happy to help, alleviating any fears with a smile and welcoming presence
Effective Saturday, May 28, Walk-In Care at ThedaCare Physicians-Shawano will change its weekend hours to Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. Current weekend walk-in hours are 10 am to 6 pm. Weekday hours remain Monday-Friday 8 am to 7 pm. Patients must be registered 15 minutes prior to closing time to be seen that day. Traci Berry, ThedaCare practice administrator in Shawano, said the clinic staff evaluates patient needs based on the time they arrive and register. Having an earlier start time on weekend mornings will better meet patient demand.
Have you been part of one of the ThedaCare community conversations yet? I hope so! As we talk with business leaders, economic development leaders, nonprofit leaders, consumers and everyday folk about bringing our two Fox Cities hospitals into one regional medical center, we’re hearing thoughtful comments, feedback and questions about our idea.
On June 6, ThedaStar celebrates 30 years serving as a life force in Northeast Wisconsin. For 30 years we have landed at the intersection of precious lives and have flown patients “at the speed of life” to definitive care. We are privileged to be a force among many serving the greater good of critically ill and injured patients in our region.
Recently ThedaCare in Berlin added Midwife Shelly Weisheipl, RN, MSN, CNM to its medical staff. She is at home at Berlin and is at ease in her role in women’s healthcare because she previously worked as a registered nurse in the Berlin Memorial Hospital obstetrics and birth care unit.
ThedaCare has earned a national honor for creating a culture of sustainability that benefits its patients, employees and communities. Vizient, the largest member-owned healthcare company in the nation, presented ThedaCare with its 2016 Excellence Award for Sustainability, which recognizes healthcare systems that demonstrate a focus and commitment to sustainability practices through the implementation of a new program with measurable success.
Each day at the new 37-bed Juliette Manor in Berlin, the Boldt construction crew continues to make progress for the targeted completion and move in date of June 9.
