NEW MEDICAL CENTER SET

FOR SEPT. 16 GRAND OPENING
The new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano, which opens Sept. 20, represents the companys commitment to maintain services locally.
By Leader Staff
The newly constructed ThedaCare Medical

Center-Shawano will be unveiled to the public
on Sept. 16 with a ribbon-cutting, open house
and tours of the $52 million hospital.
TCMC-Shawano, which replaces the
82-year-old Shawano Medical Center, will begin providing patient care on Sept. 20, but hospital officials will celebrate its grand opening
four days early starting with a ribbon cutting
at 4:15 p.m.
The public will then be invited to tour the
new facility at 100 County Road B in Shawano
and take part in the open house, which runs
until 7:30 p.m.
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College will
also showcase its new 5,000-square-foot nurse
education center, located as part of a shared
learning center inside TCMC-Shawano.
Remarks will be shared by Dorothy Erdmann, CEO, Shawano Medical Center, and H. Jeff
Rafn, president, NWTC.
We are uniquely positioned to work together toward a common goal to train nurses exactly where they will be needed, in Shawanos
own community health care setting, Rafn
said. This partnership provides more access
to education for Shawano, more supervised
September 16, 2015
patient care practice for NWTC students, and

more health care graduates for the region. Its
a great opportunity for everyone involved.
Erdmann credits these community partnerships founded on good stewardship and
cooperative spirit for making possible the new
Shawano hospital.
Weve worked hard to be good stewards
of our communitys health care and education resources, she said. Weve affirmed our
belief in excellent quality health care close to
home. This will be a very special day when we
unveil our new community hospital to the people who helped build it and who will sustain it
for future generations.
Facility highlights
The main hospital doors will be open from 6
a.m. to 10 p.m.
Adjacent to the existing ThedaCare Physicians-Shawano clinic, the 128,000-square foot
addition is Silver LEED-certified for green
building practices.
Patient care units are served by four separate nursing hubs, just steps away from a small
number of patient rooms. The design of the
new hospital emphasizes views of nature and
natural lighting. Spaces have been designed
PHOTO BY SCOTT WILLIAMS
to flex for different purposes, including visiting

specialists, and weekend and walk-in clinics.
Outpatients will have easy access to lab
and X-ray services, and surgery and birthing
suites are located convenient to one another.
The cooperative learning center, the first of
its kind in Wisconsin, will be used by about 60
NWTC nursing students per year and current
ThedaCare staff for orientations and continuing education.
The dream continues
The founding hospital in the ThedaCare
family, Theda Clark Medical Center, began as
a vision for Theda Clark Peters, a woman who
cared so deeply for her community that she
devoted her life to doing everything possible
to improve the lives of people around her.
One of her greatest dreams was to bring
health care to people in rural areas of the state.
Shawano Medical Center joined the ThedaCare family in 2011 with a continuing commitment to serving people in Shawano, Menominee and Waupaca counties.
Much like Theda Clark Peters, the staff at
ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano is devoted to working tirelessly to improve the health
and well being of the community.

ThedaCare says services will improve, too
By Scott Williams
swilliams@wolfrivermedia.com
For five years, ThedaCare health system was on

a collision course with Shawano Medical Center.
The Appleton-based company had opened a
new clinic in Shawano and was competing head-on
with the outdated yet beloved hospital, which had
served the community since the 1930s.
After a rivalry that grew increasingly costly for
both, the two competitors in 2011 agreed to a consolidation that made the old hospital part of the
ThedaCare system. It is a scenario that, in many
other rural communities, has ended with abanPage 8
doned hospitals boarded up and residents driving

long distances to see their doctors.
ThedaCare and its new partners in Shawano
had a different approach in mind.
Considering that Shawano County was populated by more than 40,000 people who were accustomed to getting quality health care close to home,
ThedaCare laid out a strategy that called for a sizable investment to make this rural region a permanent part of the companys network.
We needed to do something significant there,
ThedaCare senior vice president Brian Burmeister
said. So we decided, Lets just do this right, for the
next many, many generations.
What the company did was spend upwards of

$50 million to build its first-ever new hospital from
the ground up.
Constructed alongside the ThedaCare clinic
that had operated next to Shawano Community
High School since 2006, the 128,000-square-foot
hospital is scheduled to open Sept. 20. It will offer
a range of services that include oncology, cardiology, maternity, surgery, rehabilitation, hospice and
more.
The old Shawano Medical Center will close its
doors amid an uncertain future for the old property.
But in its place, ThedaCare is promising consumers improved services and operating efficiencies
September 16, 2015
in a facility that is equipped with state-of-the-art

technology.
Brian Potter, a senior vice president of the Wisconsin Hospital Association, said it is a formula
that has worked well in other rural parts of Wisconsin.
Consumers in the Shawano area, Potter said,
will have access to ThedaCares full network of
hospitals and regional medical centers, but without having to sacrifice the convenient hometown
service that they expect. More than half of Wisconsins estimated 140 hospitals are similarly situated in rural areas, and they contribute well to
the states reputation for offering top-notch health
care, he said.
Having a local hospital that is part of a larger
network like ThedaCare, Potter said, provides
a community all of the different pieces that you
need.
Its a convenience factor. Its a quality-of-life
factor. Its a quality-of-health-care factor, he said.
ThedaCare, a nonprofit corporation, operates
regional medical centers in Appleton and Neenah,
as well as other hospitals in Waupaca, New London, Wild Rose and Berlin, and another 35 clinics
throughout Northeastern Wisconsin. It also is a
member of the Mayo Clinic care network, which
allows ThedaCare specialists to consult with Mayo
Clinic experts when weighing a patients care options.
In 2006, ThedaCare spent about $20 million to
build its new clinic in Shawano County, despite the

presence of the Shawano Medical Center.
The old hospital, located about 2 miles away
near downtown Shawano, was a landlocked operation that had undergone several expansions and
remodelings since opening its doors in 1931. Without the physical space for more improvement, the
hospital built a rehabilitation center several blocks
away, creating a disjointed arrangement.
Dorothy Erdmann, the hospitals chief executive officer, described the complex as cobbled
together and said it suffered from operational inefficiencies. Making matters worse, ThedaCares
clinic across town offered many of the same services, which created needless duplication that was
hurting both entities financially.
Eventually, Erdmann believes the old hospital
would have closed its doors, sending devastating
aftershocks throughout the community.
We were at a crossroads, she said.
Once the consolidation was negotiated, the new
partners set about planning a hospital that would
eliminate inefficiences and duplications, while
maintaining quality service for Shawano County.
The location adjacent to ThedaCares clinic on the
south side of town was chosen because it provided
more room for construction and more convenient
access for patients arriving via state Highway 29.
The new hospital will represent the same critical access-level facility as the old hospital, with a
maximum of 25 in-patient beds available. It will of-
fer a broader range of outpatient services to meet

the changing needs of consumers, most of whom
spend fewer nights in hospital beds nowadays.
When combined with the adjacent clinic, the
new complex will cover 203,000 square feet, will
employ about 600 people and will serve about
120,000 patients annually, the vast majority on an
outpatient basis.
Those needing more specialized or complex
treatment can be transferred to ThedaCares regional medical centers in either Appleton or Neenah. However, most patients arriving at the newly
named ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano will
find what they need right there, Burmeister said.
Were going to better serve those patients, and
were going to keep local service in the Shawano
community for a very, very long time, he said.
Erdmann, who will become chief executive officer of the new hospital, expressed excitement at
transferring to a facility with a modern layout and
updated technology. She called it a well-designed,
efficient medical campus.
Although it will be sad to bid farewell to the
old Shawano Medical Center, Erdmann said, the
new ThedaCare hospital will put Shawano on the
same level as Green Bay, Wausau and other cities
where health care has likewise been brought into
the 21st century.
It was our time, if we were going to stay current, she said. Our new campus is positioned for
the future.
Were going to better serve those patients, and were going to keep local service in the Shawano
community for a very, very long time.

NEW HOSPITALS IMPACT SEEN

AS BROAD AND LASTING
Signage will help visitors find their way through the new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano.
Local economy expected to reap $18 million a year

By Scott Williams
The impact of ThedaCares new $50 million

hospital development in Shawano can be measured in terms of job creation, economic activity,
community benevolence and even a touch of espirit de corps.
Shawano Mayor Lorna Marquardt said the hospital opening will help to establish Shawano as a
Page 10
regional health care hub reaching far beyond the

citys boundaries.
People considering moving into a community
usually scrutinize the quality of health care available locally, Marquardt said, so the new hospital
could have implications for Shawano for many
years.
ThedaCares confidence in making such a significant investment in the community is likely to
stir confidence among others, the mayor said.
You see more and more people coming to Shawano, she said. Its great to be able to offer that
here right here in Shawano.
The new hospital also could make it easier to
attract and retain business in the area.
Nancy Smith, executive director of the Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce, said business
owners want to know that they are building or expanding in a community that has good health care
for employees and their families.
September 16, 2015
This is one of the top fundamental building bricks to a healthy community.

DOROTHY ERDMANN, CEO of ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano
Not only is ThedaCare itself a large employer

providing good-paying jobs, Smith said, it provides
services needed to keep workers healthy and productive throughout the community.
This is of vital importance as we work to grow
our workforce and help employers find qualified
workers, she said.
ThedaCare, which is closing Shawano Medical
Center and opening the new ThedaCare Medical
Center-Shawano across town, will employ about
600 people at the new hospital, combined with an
adjacent clinic that already existed.
Dorothy Erdmann, chief executive officer of
the new hospital, said a consultant has forecast
the operations overall economic impact at $18
million a year. That includes the ripple effect of
employees spending their paychecks, patients
spending money while in town, and others getting
spinoff jobs, such as teachers hired to teach hospital workers kids.
We are a big economic engine, Erdmann
said.
Erdmann agreed that the new hospital would
draw more families to Shawano, too, noting that
good schools and good doctors are generally two
of the biggest priorities for people seeking a place
to buy a home and raise a family.
This is one of the top fundamental building
bricks to a healthy community, she added.
The community will feel ThedaCares presence through the new hospital in another way as
well, with the charitable work of the company and
September 16, 2015
its individual employees.

From volunteering in schools to caring for
patients with no money, ThedaCare already performs community benefits that add up to $2.8 million a year in Shawano.
Paula Morgen, manager of community health
for ThedaCare, said the health care provider
tracks its charitable work in a community as part
of the process of maintaining its status as a nonprofit exempt from paying taxes. That is why the
hospital often provides health care to people with
no insurance or no guarantee of Medicaid reimbursement.
ThedaCare encourages employees to support
local charitable organizations, too. If an employee
records enough hours volunteering somewhere,
ThedaCare will make a cash donation to the
group.
Every three years, the company conducts a local needs assessment to determine, among other
things, if a community would benefit from extra
attention to obesity, problem drinking or other
health issues. The results then are used to mobilize community leaders to start a dialogue about
addressing the identified issues.
Morgen said such civic-mindedness demonstrates that ThedaCare is committed to serving
the community on many levels.
This is just kind of part of who we are as a
health system, she said. Absolutely, we are
there for the long haul.

THEDACARE MEDICAL CENTER, NWTC

COLLABORATE TO TRAIN NURSES
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College nursing students will take classes at ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano beginning this fall.
Nursing students will be trained on-site at new center

When the hallways of the new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano open, area nursing students
will be part of the hustle and bustle on the health
care campus.
About one year ago, Dorothy Erdmann, CEO of
Shawano Medical Center, and Dr. H. Jeffrey Rafn,
president of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, announced an agreement to offer Shawanos
NWTC nursing training programs on-site at the
new medical center starting this fall, the first such
collaboration in the state of Wisconsin.
The concept of a nursing school within a small
rural hospital was first championed by Erdmann,
who saw an opportunity to grow our own nurses and allied health professionals to meet future
staffing needs at ThedaCares new hospital. At the
same time, NWTC was looking to relieve space
constraints at its crowded Shawano campus.
Rafn said, These are the kind of relationships
that technical colleges and employers must work
hard to create. We are uniquely positioned to work
Page 14
together toward a common goalto train nurses

exactly where they will be needed, in a small community health care setting.
A 5,000-square-foot learning center was constructed within the larger medical center to house
both classroom and laboratory teaching equipment.
This is a complete collaboration between ThedaCare and the college, said Kay Tupala, NWTC
dean of health sciences. The learning center will
be used by nursing students and current TCMCShawano staff for orientations and continuing education.
In particular, it will be equipped with a high fidelity simulator in the simulation lab and an exact
replica of a ThedaCare patient room.
It will be a very big benefit to our hospital staff
to have a simulation lab on site where interdisciplinary teams of nurses, physicians and their assistants can learn more about caring for complex
patient cases, Erdmann said. Its an opportunity
like never before to keep our skills sharp and curTHEDACARE MEDICAL CENTER-SHAWANO
rent, teaching and learning right here at our hospital.

Nursing students will complete their first round
of clinicals, or hands-on patient care, at TCMC-Shawano while in their second semester.
Currently, between 30 and 40 certified nursing
assistants are trained at NWTC-Shawano each
year. Ten associates degreed nurses and 10 practical nurses, plus students pursuing degrees in
health care business services, will also start their
studies on site this year. Tupala said the college is
prepared to respond to market demand and may
increase the number of programs available at the
TCMC-Shawano site in the future.
Erdmann said the collaboration with NWTC has
the community at heart.
This is what it means to be a small community
hospital that stays true to its roots, she said. Our
hope is that these student nurses will ultimately
help fill vacancies at the same hospital where they
learned to be nurses.

NEW HOSPITAL A CANVAS

FOR LOCAL ARTISTS
Artist Simon Levin collaborated with a local dentist and created a mural of glazed ceramic tiles with touches of silver. Levin is excited to reach a large segment of the community. The mural hangs in a
dining area located in the medical centers atrium.
Dozens of artistic pieces to be displayed

By Scott Williams
Patients at the new ThedaCare Medical CenterShawano will benefit from the healing efforts of
more than just doctors and nurses.
Local artists are contributing paintings, sculptures and other works to help ThedaCare create an
environment that is soothing to patients in more
ways than one.
Studies show that patients frequently respond
to treatment and recover more easily from illness
or injury when they are immersed in surroundings
Page 16
that provide just the right kind of sensory stimulation.

So ThedaCare officials have hired a consultant
to select more than 200 pieces of artwork to equip
the new 128,000-square-foot hospital with images
that are not only beautiful but also therapeutic.
In doing so, the hospital has made a special effort to find artists in the Shawano area whose work
strikes the right tone for the new community health
care facility.
It isnt just for decor, ThedaCare spokeswoman Carol Ryczek said. Its something the patient
can interact with.
For local artists, being chosen to display their
work in the new hospital presents an opportunity

to accomplish two things: help ThedaCare connect
with the community, and have their creations appreciated by more than 100,000 people expected to
visit the facility annually.
Painter Judy Pubanz called it an honor that two
of her paintings will hang in the hospital.
Its quite meaningful, she said. Its a part of
me thats going to be there for, I assume, a long
time.
ThedaCare, based in Appleton, has spent about
$50 million constructing the new hospital to replace
the old Shawano Medical Center and improve services for area patients with updated technology and
September 16, 2015
Karen Hertz-Sumnicht of Avenue Art & Co. adjusts a painting chosen for display inside the new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano, which will have more than 200 paintings, sculptures and other
creations.
Preparing to hang a series of photographs in the hospital are, left to right, Kim Olson, Karen HertzSumnicht and Steve Gilling, all of Avenue Art & Co., the consulting firm for ThedaCare.
For patients battling cancer, that means images

that are soothing and calming. For those welcoming new babies into the world, the images are more
playful. And so on.
Karen Hertz-Sumnicht, owner of Avenue Art,
said she has been pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of artwork available locally. When
local artists learned that they had a chance to see
their work shown in the new hospital, they responded with energy and creativity.
Its amazing, she said. They put their best
foot forward.
One artist took the health-care theme to ex-
streamlined operations. The facility will include a

surgical area, rehabilitation unit, maternity ward,
oncology area, emergency department, outpatient
services and 22 beds for in-patient treatment.
Located on the south side of town next to Shawano Community High School, the hospital is
scheduled to open Sept. 20.
To outfit the property with artwork, ThedaCare
has selected the consulting firm of Avenue Art &
Co. The consultants are responsible for locating
and arranging an assortment of paintings, photographs, sculptures and more, to achieve a variety
of desired effects throughout the building.
tremes.
Simon Levin, a sculptor who crafts ceramic pottery, forged a partnership with a local dentist to create a unique mural of glazed ceramic tiles. Levin
asked the dentist to accessorize the mosaic-style
piece with touches of silver, in much the same way
the dentist would repair a patients teeth with silver
fillings.
Levin said the piece is a departure from his
usual approach to art. But it felt good, he said, to
know that the result would reach a large segment
of the community and would represent part of ThedaCares investment in the community.
Its a part of me thats going to be there for, I assume, a long time.

It ties a lot of things together nicely, he

said.
Avenue Art has spent nearly a year gathering input from ThedaCare officials, analyzing the new hospitals layout and examining submitted art pieces.
Hertz-Sumnicht estimated that 50 pieces will be relocated and reused from the
old hospital, which is closing. Another 200
works have been acquired as new additions
to what ThedaCare hopes will become a gallery of healing for those who come to the facility for help.
Hertz-Sumnicht said she hopes people
also will be drawn to the hospital as a place
that is aesthetically pleasing on many levels.
This is a community facility, she said.
It becomes a really nice venue for the community to see the artwork.
Consultants Steve Gilling, left, and Karen Hertz-Sumicht measure a wall to hang artwork inside the nearly completed ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano.

SMC FOUNDATION SURPASSES

FUNDRAISING GOAL
As of press time, the Shawano Medical Center
Foundation raised $2,302,331 through the Living
Well Together capital campaign in support of ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano. The total raised
exceeds the $2.25 million goal of the campaign.
The foundations campaign supports special
features and equipment at the new hospital hospital that help create a healing environment that is
representative of the cultural diversity of the community. They include a state-of-the-art wireless
nurse call system; a seating area to enjoy a healing
garden on the grounds of the new building; a new
canopy over the existing clinic entrance; and artwork throughout the hospital that celebrates the
many cultures of the Shawano area.
The Friends of Hospice, a committee within the
larger SMC Foundation, helped design and support the new hospice suite in the hospital. A patient
room, a family room and specially chosen artwork
were planned and chosen especially for individuals
and families in need of end-of-life care.
Individual, corporate, and family and business
foundations made this achievement possible. It is
a phenomenal once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all
of us to see a hospital built right before our eyes
in our own community, said Holly Zander, presi-

something out of a catalog; this facility has truly
been designed for Shawano.
Douglas Wilson, CEO of Cooperative Resources
International in Shawano, said his company sees
the value in a robust health care system in the city.
We bring many outsiders to Shawano for interviews, and as we attempt to attract new professionals to CRI, we hear over and over again what their
priorities are: health care and education. From our

vantage point, the merger with ThedaCare, the consolidation of the clinic and hospital sites, and the construction of the new hospital are huge benefits. Not
only do we attract new people, we use these resources to help keep our existing workforce healthy.

THE ROLE OF INTERIOR

DESIGN AND ART
The buildings atrium is the centerpiece of the new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano. Looking north from the second floor, natural building materials, sunlight and big windows create an atmosphere
for a healing environment.
Decades of good quality research have proved

that the atmosphere in which a patient receives
health care can meaningfully affect his or her
spirits and feelings of anxiety, peace and security.
When people feel safe and calm, they heal better
and more quickly.
This truth guided decisions about how to design, decorate and even orchestrate the new ThedaCare Medical Center- Shawano.
Theres a term thats used to describe how the
new Shawano hospital was designed: a hilly environment. However, there are no hills to climb or
trails to break. Instead, patients and their families
will encounter soothing colors and pleasant, calming diversions, kind of like discovering a pleasant
new view as you come to the crest of a gentle hill.
Page 24
Elements such as color, artwork, building materials and natural sunlight peacefully engage the
senses. The selection of artwork for TCMC-Shawano was guided by Karen Hertz-Sumnicht, an
experienced art consultant with Avenue Art & Co.,
along with an interested team.
A list of criteria for making art selections was
developed very early in the process, and it included
words such as journey, gratitude, peace, inspired
by nature, and encompassing of diversity.
Hundreds more community members responded to surveys or attended input meetings to help
craft the interior design theme for the new hospital. Its interesting to even call it interior design,
because one of the strongest priorities across
all ages, genders and cultural backgrounds was
the importance of bringing the outside in. People

asked for big windows, natural sunlight and building materials of natural wood and stone.
Patient rooms have panoramic views of the outdoors. Public hallways are lit by natural sunlight,
and signs clearly direct people to their destinations within the building. Walkways and patient
rooms are acoustically designed to limit bothersome noise. Wood and stone are integrated into
shared spaces.
Community conversations helped to craft a
healing environment that tells a lot about the
people of Shawano: authentic, in touch with their
roots, and committed to restoring one another to
good spirits and good health. Nature and nurturing heals.

NURSING STATIONS REFORMATTED

INTO SMALLER HUBS
Todays hospital patient population in Shawano
is, on average, sicker and more elderly than in past
decades. These two factors, combined with the
stress of being in an unfamiliar environment and
changes in medications, can cause patients to feel
restless and confused. When a person tries to get
out of bed on his or her own, the risk of falls and
injury is quite high.
As the floor plan for ThedaCare Medical CenterShawano was designed, it was a priority to consider
the people currently served, and how the patient
population is expected to shift in the future. One of
the goals was to personalize the level of care so that
patients at high risk for becoming agitated or falling have more supervision and help.
Here are several steps taken toward achieving
this patient safety goal:

At the new TCMC-Shawano, each patient care
unit will be served by four small nursing hubs, or
nursing neighborhoods, where nurses are stationed just steps away from a small number of patient rooms. This means nurses can respond more
quickly to calls, and they get to know the individuals
in their neighborhoods better.
TCMC-Shawano will continue to implement
a no-pass system, which requires all staff to stop
at a patients room whenever he or she sees a call
light, even if the patient is not assigned to his or her
care. The no-pass program means that patients
get the quickest personal response possible, even if
the first person to respond needs to call for help to
complete the patients request.
The TCMC-Shawano patient calls will be received on individual nurses wireless phones, not
simply at the nurses station or as a light outside
a patients door. For patients at high risk, specialized alarms integrated into the hospital bed will
alert staff if that person is trying to get out of bed.
All new patient beds will be equipped of these differentiated alarms, to be set as needed.
Very high risk patients may need someone in
their room; that is, a sitter, who is a caregiver that
stays with the patient in his or her room. This program is especially reassuring to family members
who may already be exhausted from their caregiving duties at home. They are reassured by the level
of care given to their loved ones, and they, too, can
get some well-deserved rest.

REHAB DEPARTMENT
JOINS HOSPITAL SITE
Located inside the new TCMC-Shawano, the Rehab Department will no longer be housed in a separate building.
More than 30 rehabilitation staff members are

just as excited about their move to the new hospital site as their patients are.
Prior to construction, the department was located in a separate building on Main Street in
downtown Shawano.
Now that we are part of the hospital, its so
much more convenient for patients to come to rehab, especially if they have multiple appointments
on the same day. We are in the same building as

their doctors, so no more driving across town,
said Johanna Grover, director of rehabilitation
services.
Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services
will be part of the newly consolidated department.
Physical, occupational, speech, and massage therapies are offered, plus athletic training and exercise physiology.
Both patients and staff will appreciate several

upgrades in the rehab department. The rehabilitation gym looks out on a sunny courtyard, and some
new equipment has been purchased.
ThedaCare hospital and clinic staff and volunteers will have access to the gym during specific
times of the day for their own exercise.
Grove expects to add fitness and wellness programming in the future.

A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IS
ALL PART OF THE DESIGN
Together with low-flow plumbing fixtures to
save on water consumption and optimal use of daylight to preserve electricity, ThedaCare leaders in
Shawano are striving to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver
Certification.
The Green Building certification requires a set
amount of local building materials, maximized construction waste recycling, use of low VOC (volatile
organic compounds) paints and coatings, and the
consistent healthy flow of fresh air throughout the
building for patients and staff.
The new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano
was designed with a high efficiency variable air
volume system, one that can sense the occupants
of the hospital and heat or cool it accordingly. The
boiler systems alone will jump from 85 percent efficiency at the old riverside location to 96 percent
efficiency at the new hospital, and cooling will be
accomplished by magnetic bearing chillers.
TCMC-Shawano is one of the first medical facilities in the state to opt for this type of high-efficiency
air conditioning method.
According to Eric Bauman, an architect and

LEED accredited professional at Boldt, it is a
multi-step process to achieve LEED certification
for a health care facility. Design and construction
teams collaborated to identify LEED strategies, incorporate them into design and construction, and
submit them to the United States Green Building
Council for review and feedback.
Bauman expects the certification level to be
awarded from the USGBC in early 2016.
Over the life of the building, there will be significant cost savings, based on ThedaCares decision to build an energy efficient and environmentally conscious building, Bauman said. But its
also important to realize that LEED buildings are
meant to be pleasant human spaces, designed to
promote health and wellness. There is a much
greater emphasis on the use of natural daylight
and the overall indoor environment.
When patients feel better, they heal better. Its
all part of the design.
In addition to whirlpools, designer fixtures and lighting

highlight the Family Birth Center suites.

ON-SITE THEDACARE PHARMACY

DRIVE-THRU SERVICE IS POPULAR
Shawano has long had a ThedaCare Physicians

clinic with its own on-site retail pharmacy, complete with a popular drive-up window. ThedaCare
providers can prescribe for their patients during
an appointment, and these patients can get their
meds filled before they leave the clinic.
The existence of both the pharmacy and its
drive-up window came under review during the
design phase of the new medical center. Was the
pharmacy necessary? Should the pharmacy be
relocated so the valuable space could be used for
something else? If so, would the public care that
drive-up service would be eliminated?
The answer from patients, pharmacists, and
providers was loud and clear keep the clinic
pharmacy. In fact, the Shawano ThedaCare phar-

macy has become a closely watched experiment

within the ThedaCare organization for several
compelling reasons:
Clinic patients and families primarily used
the retail pharmacy at ThedaCare PhysiciansShawano, but with the opening of the new hospital
on the same campus, clinic patients, discharged
patients, ER patients, and hospital and clinic employees can all easily access the pharmacy.
Patients consistently report that they like

being able to call in for refills, then pick them up
quickly and easily at the drive-through window.
Research shows that patients who leave a
hospital with their prescriptions in hand are much
more likely to take their medications as directed
than people who must make an extra trip to get
their meds filled. They recover more quickly.
Hospitals across the country are working
hard to keep their patients from having to be readmitted returning to the hospital for the same
illness. When these patients are helped to recover
well at home, including convenient access to their
prescriptions, there is a marked reduction in readmissions, and that results is lower health care
costs.

NEW SUITES FOR MOTHERS AND BABIES ADD COMFORT, CONVENIENCE

Mothers in labor at ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano can opt for a
warm soak in a new whirlpool labor tub located within each of the four labor
and delivery rooms at the new hospital.
The large suites are also equipped with sleeper sofas, microwaves and
refrigerators for family visitors.
I love the view of the farm, said Carol Kary, nurse manager for OB, noting that big brothers and sisters who come to see their new sibling might
catch a glimpse of horses with carts as they are trained on the neighboring

track.
The biggest and best change is that we are located right next door to the
operating room, Kary said.
At the former Shawano Medical Center, mothers who needed C-sections
to safely deliver their babies had to be rolled in the midst of labor through
long public hallways to reach the operating room.
We are all so happy that our new arrangement is much more private, and
when minutes count, the resources we need are close by, Kary said.

GIFT SHOP WILL HAVE SOME CHANGES

Leader Correspondent
The Wolf River Boutique, the sparkly new hospital gift shop at ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano, retains its name in homage to its prior location
on the bank of the Wolf River.
Were taking it along to the new hospital, said
Elaine Gast, manager of the gift shop and volunteer
coordinator.
The boutique is in a prominent location inside
the atrium of the main entrance of the new hospital. While the name remains the same, the shop will
look completely different, with tall ceiling and versatile slat-wall display systems.
Gast said it is a little bit bigger than the Shawano
Medical Center gift shop. It will continue to feature
items such as gifts for kids and babies, snacks, candy, jewelry, seasonal items, purses and scarves. A
new line of cozy ponchos and sweaters is expected
soon, just in time for fall.
September 16, 2015
The gift shop is moving Sept. 17 but wont open

until Sept. 28.
Its going to take a week to get the boxes unpacked and displays of merchandise put into the
gift shop, Gast said.
Gast only purchases items from vendors who
are gift-shop oriented.
The goal is to have items in the shop that are
unique, Gast said.
The move will include training on a new touchscreen, computerized cash register that accepts
credit card payments and employees payroll deductions. Previously all receipts and prices were
handwritten, and workers could only accept cash
and checks.
A lot of people dont carry cash, Gast said.
Now we will be able to take credit and debit cards.
Thats a huge change.
Inventory can be entered into the new system,
and prices can be printed on labels.
The first gift shop opened on Nov. 21, 1982,
through the efforts of Marge Beier and Vivian Dobberstein, who also managed it. They were members of the hospital auxiliary, whose associates still
volunteer in the gift shop today.
In 2012, Gast became the first paid person in the
shop. She coordinates the overall operations of selecting and buying merchandise, controlling inventory, marketing and keeping the financial records.
The associates who work in the gift shop are all
auxiliary members who volunteer, Gast said, adding she could use more gift shop associates.
Individuals interested in working at the new gift
shop should contact Gast at 715-526-7207 or elaine.
gast@thedacare.org.
The money from the gift shop goes to the auxiliary, which in conjunction with the hospital decides
what projects are funded. Funds from the shop are
now dedicated to the auxiliarys $65,000 pledge to
the new hospital.
The gift shop hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

50 YEARS ON THE JOB
Darling savors new hospital,

stage of life
Joanne Darling has worked as
a medical assistant in Shawano for
50 years, and shes happy to have a
fresh new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano employee ID even
if she plans to use it just a couple of
times.
Darling, 80, is retiring on Nov. 16.
Dr. Bill Coan and Dr. F.T. Birgmann asked me if I wanted to work
for them, recalled Darling, who had
started working at the Shawano hospital in 1965 and then moved to the
old Marsh Clinic to assist the physicians at their practice. I was trained
on the job. Technical schools were
just starting, and some girls went to
Green Bay, but I never did.
Her responsibilities included
rooming patients and assisting with
labs, X-rays and EKGs.
Later, they taught us to draw
blood and give injections, she said.
Before that, the doctors used to do
those themselves.
After about 30 years on the job,
September 16, 2015
which included stints as an assistant

at Peterson Clinic, Shawano Clinic,
and clinics in Gillett and Tigerton,
she reduced her work hours in 1997.
In 2006, Darling went to one day a
week, assisting Dr. Philip Yazbak, a
visiting neurosurgeon from Neenah,
when he made his weekly visits to
Shawano.
Hes such a nice doctor, Darling
said. My job is not stressful Im
simply rooming patients and seeing
people I know. But its time (to retire).
Darling has three adult children,
and she proudly lists off their homes
in New Hampshire, Minnesota and
Shawano. Her local daughter works
in community health at the Menominee Tribal Clinic in Keshena.
Its so nice to see what shes doing. Shes very good at her job, Darling said.
After 50 years of caring for patients, right back at you, Joanne.
Youve done such a good job.

HORSING AROUND WITH

THE CONSTRUCTION CREWS
The oval horse track on Gary and Donna Magees horse farm highlights the southern view from patients rooms on the second floor.
Neighboring horseman forges friendship over the fence
The 18-month construction of the new hospital

was bound to have an impact on the neighbors.
For starters, they would see more trucks and hear
more noise than usual.
Of particular concern was Gary and Donna
Magees sprawling oval horse track just over the
property line from the building site. Would equipment spook the horses? Would the work interfere
with Garys work, teaching his animals to pull
carts? How could crews make all the changes (and
messes) along the property line without frustrating Gary and Donna, whose family has operated
the farm for three generations, well before the
neighboring field was eyed for ambulance service?
Such worries were misplaced.
Gary is a retired architecture instructor at
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and is
proud to say that a couple of his students are now
employed by Boldt. He has a passion for constructionand an appreciation for what a new hospital
will bring to his familys community.
Ive totally enjoyed watching the process over

at the new hospital, Gary said. I consider Boldt
a top-shelf company and ThedaCare has gone out
of their way to make this whole experience enjoyable.
One time crews had to remove several truckloads of topsoil from the construction site and were
about to pay a hauler good money to take it away.
Gary happened to be in need of soil to resurface
his horse track, and when he inquired about the
mounds of soil next door, a crew was more than
happy to deliver and grade it for him. It saved ThedaCare a lot of hauling expense, and Gary got the
dirt cheap benefits.
The project manager at Boldt recalls the time
that grading the ThedaCare side of the property
line was going to cause Garys fence line to sit atop
a narrow piece of land. Together, the two neighbors opted to remove the entire fence and re-install it at a lower level. By looking ahead, both parties avoided the possibility of Garys fence being
washed away in a strong rainstorm because of the

dramatically different soil levels.
Gary always expected his horses to adjust to the
construction commotion and didnt feel it was necessary to receive telephone updates about work
near his property line. Only once was he literally
forced to take the reins. A Wisconsin Public Television producer was out on his farm with a crew
to film his operation. The producer asked to drive
the cart just as the crane boom started to turn out
over the track. When Gary saw this, he quickly took
back the reins, as this particular horse might have
made for an exciting video clip. Instead, they just
clipped right past.
Both Gary and the Boldt crews have admitted
they will miss each other now that the hospital is
finished. Gary is a self-described smile and wave
kind of guy.
Hes learned as much from the crews as they
have from him, building a real friendship across
the fence.
Ive totally enjoyed watching the process over at the new hospital.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS: A SHORT

HISTORY OF SHAWANO HOSPITALS
The local hospital was renamed Shawano Medical Center in 1995.

By Carol Wagner
Leader Correspondent
The first hospital in Shawano was built through

the foresight of Dr. Carl Stubenvoll, who was a doctor in Shawano from 1908 until his death in 1946.
In 1910, Stubenvoll leased the Edgar Reed house
and put in two wards with six beds and seven private rooms. The beds were filled most of the time.
However, he had to pay most of the expenses himself, which became too much for him and the hospital closed in 1919.
The next attempt at a hospital began in 1929
when city officials got together and decided the
growing city needed a hospital. It officially opened

in May 1931. Known as Shawano Municipal Hospital, it was built at 309 N. Bartlett St., where Shawano Medical Center is located, and had the very
latest in modern equipment. Each floor had its own
sterilization system. There were three operating
rooms, a nursery and rooms equipped with call
lights for the patients to summon a nurse. The approximate cost was $95,000.
In 1960, the facilitys name was changed to Shawano Community Hospital. A south wing was constructed in 1963 and the north wing was extended
in 1966.
The name was changed to Shawano Medical

Center in 1995 when another expansion took place.

Houses on the south side of the hospital were razed
to make room for a parking area. A new surgery department, an outpatient clinic, a new entry, a 13-bed
special care unit and an admitting area were built.
Following the construction, a yearlong renovation of the existing facility took place.
Another addition was built in 2007. It included
the Riverside Clinic, meeting rooms, and a new
hospital entrance and lobby.
In 2010, SMC was integrated into the ThedaCare
system with plans to build a new facility. The move
occurs this month with the opening of ThedaCare
Medical Center-Shawano on County Road B.
