Gundersen Health System and Bellin Health announce re-branding

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – Gundersen Health System and Bellin Health are announcing a rebranding. The combined health system is changing its name to Emplify Health. This comes after the two health systems finalized their merger of equals in December 2022.

Officials say the hospital names will not change right away, but over the next several years. CEO Scott Rathgaber says Emplify Health is more than a name, “It’s who we are today and how we will deliver care in the future. Our new brand is built from that legacy and the words empathy and amplify. Our purpose is to inspire people’s best lives by relentlessly caring, learning, and innovating.”

Officials say patients of Emplify Health will still receive their care with the same providers and staff at the same locations they were before.
