After 13 years at Marshfield Clinic Health System and over 40 years in medicine, Dr. Thomas Fritsche is retiring today. He will continue a part-time presence in the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute as a Researcher Emeritus working with Dr. Jennifer Meece and her staff on projects related to tick-borne diseases.

“I have tremendously enjoyed interactions with the many providers, nurses, technologists, infection prevention staff, fellow pathologists, administrators and the many other Clinic staff that have made these last 13 years truly special," he said. “There have been challenges, no question, but some of the most memorable people I have met in my career have been here at Marshfield Clinic. Those interactions have been tremendously rewarding."

Please join us in thanking Dr. Fritsche for his great work and wishing him good luck in retirement!
