PLOVER, WI (WSAU) â Marshfield Clinic and Oswald Counseling Associates have announced a merger resulting from the healthcare systemâs purchase of the Plover-based practice.
Marshfield Clinic CEO Dr. Susan Turney says the acquisition comes at a vital time for mental health professionals, who have seen an uptick in patient traffic during the recent pandemic.
âBringing this experienced and highly-respected group of providers into our System will strengthen our network of mental health services offered across our service area,â said Turney through a press release. âRural communities across the state and country face a pronounced deficit in access to mental health care compared to metropolitan areas. We are doing everything we can to ensure the communities we serve have those critical mental health services.â
