There are plans for a new specialty hospital on the northeast side of Appleton.
ThedaCare is partnering with the Hand to Shoulder Center and the Neuroscience Group to build a $144 million facility. It would be next to ThedaCare’s Encircle Health and Cancer Center off I-41 and Ballard Road.
Dr. Steven Price of the Neuroscience Group says they want to offer a number of services in one place. He says it would specialize in orthopedic and spinal surgery and treatment, along with pain management.
Price says it will be an expansion for the Hand to Shoulder Center and Neuroscience Group, and both groups will keep their current locations.
He says they plan to open the new hospital in two years.
About 75 new jobs would be created at the facility.
