Aspirus had planned to open the $75 million school with four other unnamed health systems. Sid Sczygelski, CFO of Aspirus, said the system dropped out due to ” inconsistency between the best interests of the school and students, and the best interests of the competing health care systems,” according to the report.
The dean of the proposed school, Gregg Silberg, DO, said development will move forward with other health systems.
The move is intended to increase the number of physicians in the state, as the Wisconsin Hospital Association estimates it will face a shortage of more than 2,000 physicians by 2030.
