On July 1, 2008, the West Bend Clinic and St. Joseph's Hospital affiliated with Froedtert & Community Health, strengthening our ability to provide the most effective care possible for all types of medical conditions.
Froedtert & Community Health was formed in 2001 by Froedtert Hospital and Community Memorial Hospital. With the affiliation, the system today combines the capabilities of three hospitals and several community-based clinics to deliver nationally recognized, cost-effective health care and technologies to people throughout eastern Wisconsin.
Froedtert & Community Health is composed of an academic medical center …
