BEAVER DAM – Marshfield Clinic Health System (MCHS) has completed its affiliation with Beaver Dam Community Hospitals, Inc.​ (BDCH), ensuring residents in Dodge County continue to have local access to high-quality, safe health care. The two organizations have already begun integrating services. In the months ahead, the rural health care model in the region will further transform, expanding the level of services offered and broadening access to new programs and technology.
