CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) - The Chippewa Valley Cooperative Hospital says it has opened its new Cancer Center, located in the renovated former St. Joseph’s Hospital campus in Chippewa Falls. According to a press release from Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative, the Cooperative’s new Cancer Center is part of the Chippewa Valley Health Cooperative’s plan to reopen the former hospital as an interim full-service facility while it builds its permanent, community-owned hospital in Lake Hallie by 2028. “It’s been very hard for hundreds of Chippewa Valley cancer patients over the last 18 months who couldn’t get the care they need close to home,” said Angela Quick, Director of Cancer Services for the Cooperative Hospital. “Some have been traveling hundreds of miles each week while fighting cancer. Bringing these services online in Chippewa Falls means a lot to our patients and their families – it restores significant access to care for the region and dignity and community for our patients.” According to the press release, the new Cancer Center will provide: Medical oncology and infusion therapy On-site specialty oncology pharmacy Coordinated laboratory for faster care Patient navigation and survivorship programs Radiation therapy is being fast-tracked for 2026.
