History
The History of Our Personal Care
Beginnings
After years of healthcare delivery by horse and buggy the first Plattevillearea hospital opened on February 12 1900 with an expansion completed in 1914 The 25bed hospital served southwest Wisconsin until 1950 when Platteville Municipal Hospital opened A nursing home wing was added seven years later and an Obstetrics unit and Administration wing were added in 1963
Collaboration and Consolidation
By the late 1970s it became increasingly difficult for the organization to invest in facility infrastructure The original building was in serious need of renovation Action needed to be taken to reduce operational costs and provide a method of acquiring the new technology and equipment that was becoming vital to delivering high quality care
At the same time Cuba City Medical Center faced a similar challenge The two hospital boards developed a plan to consolidate their facilities the origin of Southwest Health Center as we know it today
In 1985 the boards streamlined operations by housing acute care services in Platteville and longterm care services in Cuba City Residents of the Platteville nursing home were relocated to the newly renovated Cuba City nursing home The hospital began a multiphase remodeling plan that was completed in 1991
Relocation and Continued Growth
The hospitals location a converted assisted living facility nestled in a neighborhood several miles away from the main highway remained a challenge for more than a decade In 2004 the board determined the communitys best interest would be served by constructing a new hospital in the location it is today adjacent to the new Highway 151
The move opened the door to stateoftheart medical equipment and health technology to additional space that expanded treatment and programs and to better patient comfort and privacy It makes it possible for SHC to expand its impact on the health of our communities as evidenced by a remarkable 20 percent growth in patient volume in 2005
