Marshfield to become part of DCH system

IRON MOUNTAIN, MI— Dickinson County Healthcare and Marshfield Clinic have finalized an affiliation agreement that brings Marshfield’s health system into the U.P.

Marshfield will begin formally incorporating its care and operational support system into all Dickinson hospital and clinic locations.

Officials say they’ll focus on expanding local outpatient surgeries, supporting DCH’s pediatric team, and growing DCH’s primary care provider team. The partnership will also result in the construction of a state-of-the-art cancer center.

The hospital and clinics’ names and branding will be announced in the coming months as the incorporation process is completed.
