Gold Cross Ambulance Service will open a new emergency medical service station at the site of a former filling station on Sixth Avenue in Oshkosh.
Froedtert ThedaCare opened the ThedaCare Medical Center-Oshkosh in January 2026 at 250 W. 6th Ave. and during construction began looking for a nearby site to house a new, permanent emergency medical service station and living space for Gold Cross in Oshkosh.
“In an emergency, minutes matter,” said Jenny Nikolai, Vice President of ThedaCare Medical Centers-Fond du Lac and Oshkosh. “That’s why having a comprehensive health care system and an advanced emergency department is more than a convenience – it’s a lifeline for a community. It means patients and families have access to seamless care from the moment they arrive through recovery.”
The station at 356 W. 6th Ave., Oshkosh, will serve Oshkosh, Berlin and Fond du Lac. It will include a single ambulance bay, work areas, medical supply storage, two sleeping rooms and a kitchen area.
“Choosing to restore this historic building rather than demolish it or build somewhere new reflects a deeper commitment to our community’s identity,” said Nikolai. “By investing in its restoration, we’re preserving a sense of familiarity while giving it new purpose for generations to come.”
A donation by the Bergstrom Automotive Oshkosh Dealerships to the ThedaCare Family of Foundations allowed work at the site to begin in March.
