Community Involvement
As part of our mission, Stoughton Health is dedicated to improving the health of the communities and people we serve.
Health Priorities
In 2017 we provided over $2.8 million in community and health benefits services. Our hospital, along with all Wisconsin Hospitals, has a common mission to provide compassionate, quality care and promote wellness and hope in our communities.
Stoughton Health remains committed to providing essential health care to anyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay. We are also committed to improving the health and well-being of Stoughton and the surrounding communities.
While Stoughton Health remains committed to providing safe quality health care with exceptional personalized service, we recognize we have limited resources to address all the health needs issues identified. Stoughton Health has selected three priority areas of focus over the next three years.
