After anticipation of integrating two health systems for the last two years, Essentia Health and Marshfield Clinic Health System (MCHS) recently announced their merger will no longer be in effect.

Essentia Health, a Minnesota-based health system, serves patients in not only in their home state but in Wisconsin and North Dakota.
MCHS is based in Wisconsin and serves Wisconsin residents and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
