On Jan. 1, Holy Family Home Health Care will integrate with ThedaCare At Home.
The integration is part of Froedtert ThedaCare coming together as one health system. The vision of this transition is to enhance access to care and provide additional services such as hospice and palliative care for more people and patients in surrounding areas, including Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Kewaunee counties.
“When a person is recovering from surgery or managing an illness, they often prefer to access health care services and products from the comfort and convenience of their own home,” said Kori Krueger, MD, Senior Vice President and President of the North Region Physician Group. “This personalized care in a comfortable and familiar setting can be a vital part of the healing process.”
Home health care can be an alternative to an extended hospital or nursing home stay for chronic conditions, such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, cancer or diabetes.
“The demand for home care services is rapidly growing due to an increase in the aging population, changing patient preferences and technological advancements,” said Brian Graf, Vice President of Froedtert Holy Family Memorial Hospital. “We are proud that our health care system is addressing the existing need in the communities we already serve, and expanding access in the region as well.”
