Chippewa Valley Cooperative Hospital (CVCH) has opened a new cancer center in a renovated area of the former St. Joseph’s Hospital campus, according to a news release.

The new facility houses medical oncology and infusion therapy, a lab, and specialty oncology pharmacy. Radiation therapy services are planned to be added in 2026.

The Cooperative purchased the facility in July and began building out the new center with significant infrastructure and patient care upgrades.

The project involved a full interior remodel of existing space with new infusion bays, procedure rooms, and nurses stations, as well as new patient family areas designed for comfort and privacy.

The renovation also upgraded air handling and electrical systems for modern medical equipment.

Additionally, the health provider plans to reopen the former hospital as an interim full-service facility while it builds a permanent, community-owned hospital in Lake Hallie, Wis., expected to open by 2028.
