A newly formed health care cooperative has identified the site for a new hospital it aims to open by 2027: a 20-acre parcel in Lake Hallie just off U.S. 53.
Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative announced Wednesday it has entered an agreement with Dave and John Markquart to purchase 20 acres on the west side of U.S. 53, near Markquart Toyota and across the highway from Valley Sports Academy.
The nonprofit cooperative said it “evaluated many different locations throughout Eau Claire and Chippewa counties” and chose the site “based on extensive and detailed modeling of traffic flow, demographics, and projected growth patterns for the area. Importantly, this location is easily accessible for emergency services.”
