Black River Falls, Wis.
The Krohn Clinic and Black River Memorial Hospital (BRMH) officially merged on Monday, resulting in the formation of a new healthcare entity called Black River Health (BRH).
This partnership aims to significantly improve healthcare services in Jackson County and surrounding areas, as disclosed in a press release from BRH.
Dr. Michelle Clark-Forsting, the chief physician executive of Black River Health, emphasized the commitment to patient care. She stated, ‘Black River Health promises to continue delivering exceptional, patient-centered care as we work together to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our community.’ She further added that this merger represents a united vision for a healthier future.
The merger follows the identified health challenges faced by Jackson County, which statistically fares worse than the average county in Wisconsin regarding health outcomes. Black River Health is dedicated to addressing these issues and ensuring that healthcare services remain local, comprehensive, and of high quality.
Both the Krohn Clinic and BRMH will maintain their names and identities, but will operate under the Black River Health umbrella. A new logo will be gradually introduced over the course of 2025. For further details and updates on services offered, individuals can visit www.blackriverhealth.com.
