The Chippewa Valley Cooperative Hospital (CVCH) is pleased to announce the opening of the new Wound Care Center. This specialty service will restore critical access to our community, filling a crucial gap in healthcare.

Wound care is not optional. It is essential, often urgent and ongoing. The Wound Care Center provides patients with shorter travel times, faster treatments, and better healing outcomes. The department provides expert care utilizing advanced techniques such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy for conditions like diabetic ulcers, pressure wounds, burns, post-surgical complications, and non-healing wounds.

Our mission at CVCH is to bring essential, high-quality care back to the Chippewa Valley-locally owned and community-led. The launch of the center and its much-needed services will bring immediate and accessible care to patients and fulfill a dangerous void in our community.

Two years ago, something extraordinary happened.

Just six weeks after HSHS announced it was closing Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s and walking away from more than 70,000 patients in our region, the community came together and formed the Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative.

In just the past year alone, together we have:
- Closed on the purchase of the former St. Joseph’s Hospital in Chippewa Falls — a major milestone in restoring local hospital capacity
- Secured an agreement for land in Lake Hallie for the new hospital
- Opened our local Cancer Care services to begin restoring critical oncology access in our region
- Prepared to launch our Advanced Wound Care Center, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to meet another urgent community need
- Continued the complex, behind-the-scenes licensing, certification, staffing, and operational work required to reopen Chippewa Falls as a full-service hospital later this year

We were officially formed on February 29, 2024, as a community-owned, nonprofit cooperative, governed locally, accountable to you, and built to restore the 34%+ of healthcare access our region lost .

We still have important work in front of us: reopening Chippewa Falls as a fully operational hospital, continuing to expand services, and building our new, state-of-the-art hospital in Lake Hallie.

But right now, we're celebrating two years of Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative! 🎉
