What you should know:
1. Marshfield Medical Center-Minocqua will feature a surgery center, an emergency department, physical therapy services, 14 patient rooms and a birthing center, among other features.
2. The hospital was supposed to open in April, but health system administrators delayed the opening, anticipating a surge of COVID-19 patients. The system could also not get final regulatory review approval because the state was shut down due to COVID-19.
3. COVID-19 didn’t affect the Minocqua community as was previously projected, so the health system feels it has ample resources to open the hospital.
