History[]

In 1908, Dr. Julius Bellin founded the Deaconess Sanitarium in a house he owned in Green Bay, Wisconsin.[1][2] The next year, the hospital began an affiliation with the Methodist Church.

In 1915, the Deaconess Sanitarium was renamed Wisconsin Deaconess Sanitarium.[1] In 1916, they built their first hospital building. In 1923, they built a north wing addition.[1]

In 1925, the board of directors renamed the hospital Bellin Memorial Hospital over Dr. Bellin's objections as a tribute to him.[1] Dr. Bellin died in 1928.[3]

In 1970, the hospital began Green Bay's first alcohol and drug abuse program.[4] In 1977, the hospital sponsored the first annual Bellin Run.[5] In 1989, they founded the Bellin Psychiatric Center.[1] In January 1994, Bellin opened their first Family Medical Center in Denmark, Wisconsin.[1]

In 2005, Bellin became one of the first hospitals to begin robotic assisted surgery.[1] In 2006, Bellin Health opened their first FastCare clinics in area Shopko stores.[1] In 2007, the company became the official health care partners of the Green Bay Packers.[6]

From 2011 to 2013, Bellin participated in the Pioneer ACO program in partnership with Thedacare.[7] In 2012, Bellin Health expanded and opened their new emergency department on the north side of the Bellin Hospital building. In June 2014, Bellin joined Blue Priority — Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield's ACO in Wisconsin.[8]

In 2016, Bellin Health broke ground on a new sports medicine and orthopedics clinic in the Green Bay Packers Titletown District.[9] Also in 2016, Holy Family Memorial joined Bellin Health Partners.[10] In January, the company was accepted into the Medicare and Medicaid Next Generation Accountable Care Organization Model pilot program.[7]

In 2018, Dr. Cynthia Lasecki was named chief medical officer of the company.[2]

Medical operations[]

Bellin Health operates hospitals in Green Bay and Oconto, Wisconsin.[11][12]

Bellin Health also operates 27 Family Medicals Center clinics in northeastern Wisconsin.[13]

As of 2019, Bellin Health operated five FastCare clinics.[14] The clinics leased space inside Shopko stores prior to Shopko filing for bankruptcy in January 2019.[14] In May, Ballin announced that three of its clinics would consolidate and that new locations had been found.[14]

Bellin Health is affiliated with Bellin College.[citation needed]
