The 58-bed memorial hospital opened 125 years ago as a care facility for the U.S. Marine Hospital Service. The center has since grown throughout the area, evolving its healthcare and technology as times have changed. Specialty services include complete surgical services, intensive and stroke care, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, maternal fetal medicine care, patient education, and social services in both inpatient and outpatient environments. There is also a cancer center, sleep center and lab. The hospital is actively working to train the future healthcare workforce through a partnership with Lakeshore Technical College. In pursuit of that goal, the hospital is also opening an education center in fall 2024. Each year, Froedtert staffers are actively involved in community events including blood drives, food drives, toy drives and yard clean ups. Recently, the hospital held a drop off for unused prescriptions. Froedtert has also launched a comprehensive telehealth program, using platforms and mobile applications to care for patients with complex illnesses including stroke and seizures.
