OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Construction is moving forward at the new ThedaCare health campus in Oshkosh.
Officials broke ground on ThedaCare Medical Center-Oshkosh in March 2024. The hospital is located downtown at 250 W. 6th Avenue, along the Fox River.
Significant progress has been made at the site since the project first got underway one year ago. Some of the major construction milestones include:
- Completion of the roof work
- Near completion of the exterior masonry work
- Installation of window frames around the building. Exterior glass installation is expected to be complete in late spring/early summer.
- Progress on the mechanical heating and cooling system installation
- Continued work on interior wall framing and drywall
The facility’s downtown location was chosen purposefully. Nearly 73% of Oshkosh’s residents live east of Interstate 41, while most of the current health care services are located west of I-41 — meaning east-side residents are more than 15 minutes away from a hospital or emergency room.
“This campus will give our organization an opportunity to offer convenient care to more people in our communities, closer to where they live and work,” said Dr. Robert Cavagnol, North Region president for Froedtert ThedaCare Health, in a news release. “We look forward to the continued construction and progress taking place at ThedaCare Medical Center-Oshkosh.”
The hospital is projected to be 114,000 square feet, with an estimated $84 million investment. Approximately 60 new jobs for caregivers and staff will be created.
Comprehensive community care, including emergency and inpatient services, will be available at the new campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Plans also call for:
- 24/7 computed tomography scans
- X-ray and ultrasound
- Mammogram, MRI and lab services
- Retail pharmacy
- Ambulatory surgery center with operating rooms
- Medical office building for primary care and specialties
“ThedaCare Medical Center-Oshkosh will allow our organization to continue improving the health of those living in the area,” said Jenny Nikolai, vice president of ThedaCare Medical Centers-Fond du Lac and Oshkosh, in the release.
We’re looking forward to continuing care for the people of Oshkosh to provide the level of expertise they deserve.
The Oshkosh campus is expected to be complete in 2025.
Work also continues at Froedtert ThedaCare Health’s Fond du Lac campus, which should also be finished in 2025.
