The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network announced today the closure of the Froedtert & MCW Mequon Health Center Urgent Care effective February 1, 2022, due to the ongoing effects and impact of COVID-19 on the health network. The Froedtert & MCW Mequon Health Center will remain open.
“An unprecedented number of our own staff are being affected by the recent COVID-19 surge, which requires us to reassign staff across our health network resulting in the closure of our Mequon Health Center Urgent Care,” said Cathy Jacobson, president and chief executive officer of Froedtert Health. “While our health network continues to experience record setting admissions and hospitalizations due to COVID-19, we remain committed to Mequon and the surrounding communities and will continue to help manage the health care needs of our patients, staff and community.”
The five remaining Froedtert & MCW health network urgent care locations remain open in Menomonee Falls, New Berlin, Oak Creek, Wauwatosa and West Bend.
