EC City Council President responds to Sacred Heart Hospital closing | #citycouncil

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) – Eau Claire City Council President, Emily Berge, released a statement today on the closing of Sacred Heart Hospital.

Today is a sad day for Eau Claire and the greater Chippewa Valley. With only an 8 week notice we are losing hospital access as well as other medical care which we will feel the impacts of for years to come. In the midst of these shocking turn of events, I am proud of how our community has come together. Challenges will continue but we are united around finding sustainable solutions to care for our community.

Even though I know we will be okay, this is a significant day for Eau Claire. Throughout the day, I have been thinking about the employees of Sacred Heart, past and present, as well as all the patients who relied on Sacred Heart for health care. I am thankful that other healthcare organizations are stepping up to hire these employees as well as expanding services to meet the medical needs of our community; however, nothing will really replace Sacred Heart. Thank you to the dedicated staff of Sacred Heart who made that hospital a beloved part of our community.
