EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – We’re learning that HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire is now set to close next week, March 22^nd. That’s the day both Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s will be ending operations.

In a news release, President and CEO for the two hospitals, John Wagner, says quote, “While the March closure of Sacred Heart is sooner than originally announced, our decision is based on our top priority: our commitment to maintain safe, quality care for our patients,”

Staff, along with local fire departments and EMS, have been notified of the new timeline. Existing patients at Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s will receive care through March 22^nd, and Prevea locations in Western Wisconsin will close on or before April 21^st.

We contacted HSHS/Prevea for an on-camera interview but they declined.
