After spending the last two months focusing much of its efforts in helping save the lives of countless people who have contracted coronavirus, and after having to furlough a large percentage of employees, Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin will begin to return to some sense of regular operation.
WTMJ news partner Milwaukee Business Journal says that Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin will re-start some of its surgery services and what they call “ambulatory-care visits,” while Children’s Wisconsin will slowly move back in the direction of its full capabilities for young people.
In recent weeks, major revenue declines at both Froedtert and the Medical College were leading to hundreds of staff members being furloughed.
The CEO of the Medical College had said back in March that it would be in “crisis” mode in weeks due to what would have to be done to serve the needs of COVID-19 patients.
