Wisconsin Catholic Healthcare Systems Unify as Ascension
Affinity Health System | September 20, 2016
Beginning September 20, the healthcare systems of Ascension Wisconsin– Ministry Health Care (including Affinity Health System), Columbia St. Mary’s and Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - will be among the first in the country to formally adopt and transition to using the Ascension name. Ascension is the largest not-for-profit health system in the U.S. and the world's largest Catholic health system. The unified name is expected to be fully implemented in Wisconsin, including facility signage changes, over the next 12-18 months.
