OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) – Three months after breaking ground, the construction at Froedtert ThedaCare Health, Inc.’s Oshkosh health campus has utilized a variety of structural elements en route to being a premier care facility in northeast Wisconsin.
According to a release, the site was vacant for decades because of the soil conditions. But, teams worked with the Department of Natural Resources to learn about the site.
