Is it Time to Change
Health Care Providers?
Selecting the right primary care provider (PCP) is one of the best things you can do for your health. But doesn’t it always seem like just when you find the perfect PCP, something always changes? Some of the most common reasons for changing providers are: • Changes in your insurance company or contract • Changes in your job or marital status
• You are moving to a new community • Your current provider’s practice is closing or moving
Primary care providers are accepting new patients! Find a provider in Dodgeville near you by calling 608-935-3301, or visit ssmhealth.com/find-a-doctor

Upland Hills Health renovation, capital campaign nearing completion A $32-million renovation and building project is nearing completion at Upland Hills Health (UHH), which hospital officials say will allow the organization to enhance its already acclaimed five-star healthcare services to residents of southwest Wisconsin. UHH has shared the values of the communities it serves for more than 100 years, according to Julia Oellerich, Foundation Director at Upland Hills Health. Those values include an unfailing commitment to family, a sense of independence and a strong work ethic. “UHH is dedicated to the promise of offering the highest standard of healthcare,” Oellerich said. “Our community-minded staff places an emphasis on providing quality, comprehensive healthcare, while offering a comforting, neighborly welcome to everyone who walks through our doors.” Hospital officials are investing in the future with the new building project. The project, about two years in the making, includes a new birth center, new surgical suites, new patient rooms and much more. “It has been impossible to ignore the construction that has been happening here,” Oellerich said. “Patients and visitors have experienced route diversions and driven around construction vehicles for a long time. But now that the project is nearing completion, we think it has been worth the wait.” New birth center The birth center features five labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum rooms for moms-to-be. The rooms are spacious enough to allow loved ones to be present when welcoming a new baby into the world, and offer plenty of room for visitors in the days that follow. The rooms offer jetted tubs, in-room mini refrigerators and beautiful views. A C-section suite will be located within the birth center, instead of being a floor below as it was in the past, which will provide more efficient emergency cesarean delivery.
ankle surgeries, eye surgeries, sinus surgeries, urologic surgeries, colonoscopies, and others. The prep and recovery space will double, going from seven rooms to 15, which means less wait time for patients. New patient rooms The new patient rooms are fully private. Patients will no longer need to share a room with another patient. The patient floor is a healing environment with large windows that flood the area with natural light. An emphasis was placed on views of the rolling hills that surround UHH. Space for future growth This building project doesn’t end here. Hospital officials kept future needs in mind as they developed the floorplan. The first floor includes shelled-in space for a third operating room. It also includes space for a new laboratory and emergency department. “Building these spaces now, at today’s costs, is a fiscally responsible way to address the renovations that we know are coming in the next decade” Oellerich explained. “The most successful rural healthcare systems are those where strong community partnerships exist,” Oellerich said. “UHH is no different. At key moments in our history, people within the communities we serve extended themselves to make sure their communitybased, independent healthcare system remained available. UHH has been successful because of this spirit of partnership.” Mark and Robin Masters of Dodgeville also know the importance of a strong, local healthcare system. “Upland Hills Health has touched the lives of many community members of all ages,” they said. “This project has the potential to reach many more. Everyone benefits when our local hospital is successful, which is why we support Upland Hills Health.”
New surgery area
The UHH Foundation is inviting community members to participate in the “Your Family, Our Promise” Capital Campaign, which has helped this project become a reality. About $1.1 million has already been contributed and UHH officials are reaching for $1.5 million with the campaign.
The new surgical suites and recovery area will feature two integrated operating rooms designed to accommodate all forms of surgeries, including joint replacements, breast surgeries, foot and

History In 1827, Henry Dodge, his family, and about 40 miners began what would become the city of Dodgeville. Dodge made a pact with the local Winnebago Indian leaders so he could build a cabin and smelter. The original community was comprised of three separate settlements: “Dodgeville”, “Dirty Hollow” and “Minersville”. Dodgeville, which was named after Dodge, grew slowly during its early years. It was incorporated as a village in the 1840s. Later a small “war” was fought with Mineral Point over which community would become the seat of Iowa County. At the time, Mineral Point was the seat, but Dodgeville residents felt they should have it. Dodgeville eventually won the “war” and Wisconsin’s oldest county courthouse. Dodgeville then saw a population boom, and it became a center for mining. Miners from England flooded the city, and the area flourished. British and Cornish architecture is still visible in the city today. Today the city is most commonly known for being the headquarters for the apparel company, Lands’ End. Source: Wikipedia
