Here are five things to know:
1. In January, Marshfield Clinic applied for a conditional use permit to construct a hospital.
2. The proposed hospital would include a surgery center, an emergency room, 12 inpatient beds as well as imaging and lab services.
3. Marshfield Clinic expects the project to cost between $30 million and $35 million.
4. The committee denied the application in a three-to-two vote June 14. The members stated, “The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare.”
5. William Melms, MD, Marshfield Clinic’s regional medical director, said in a statement the health system is committed to building the hospital and will file an appeal by the deadline.
