IRON MOUNTAIN — Dickinson County Healthcare System has officially changed its name to Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson.

Thursday’s announcement reaffirms a commitment to delivering high-quality local health care as Dickinson becomes a regional hub for Marshfield Clinic Health System in the Upper Peninsula, officials said.

“Since our affiliation in February, much work has been done to integrate Dickinson with Marshfield,” said Chuck Nelson, chief administrative officer, Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson. “Part of the process is filing for legal name changes and working through the multiple levels of changing all things with name and logo. It is a huge undertaking, but we have reached the moment where we can increase the volume around our new name and brand. We are honored to represent Marshfield in Dickinson and the U.P., and we are looking forward to a bright future together. Thank you to our teams for all their effort, hard work, and diligence in making this transition so successful.”

Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson represents the first time Marshfield will have a physical presence providing care beyond the borders of Wisconsin.

“We’ve evolved over the past 100 years to arrive to where we are today,” said Dr. Susan Turney, Marshfield Clinic Health System CEO. “Moving forward together we will do more than ever to serve our patients in the rural communities they call home. I am thrilled to call the incredible team at Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson our colleagues.”

A primary focus of the partnership is constructing a new state-of-the-art cancer center.
