Is it Time to Change
Health Care Providers?
Selecting the right primary care provider (PCP) is one of the best things you can do for your health. But doesn’t it always seem like just when you find the perfect PCP, something always changes? Some of the most common reasons for changing providers are: • Changes in your insurance company or contract • Changes in your job or marital status
• You are moving to a new community • Your current provider’s practice is closing or moving
Primary care providers are accepting new patients! Find a provider in Dodgeville near you by calling 608-935-3301, or visit ssmhealth.com/find-a-doctor

Health
Stronger Together With its mission in mind, Upland Hills Health hospital and clinics, based in Dodgeville, is expanding quality healthcare services to meet patients where they are—in their own communities. Upland Hills Health (UHH) made exceptional progress toward this goal in 2018. After working closely together for over 35 years, the Mineral Point Medical Center and Dodgeville Medical Center officially became Upland Hills Health clinics on October 1, 2018. Upland Hills Health also purchased the former SSM Health-Dean clinic building in Barneveld in response to community need, and reopened it as a UHH family medicine clinic. Together with previously established clinics in Highland, Montfort, Mount Horeb and Spring Green, Upland Hills Health now offers clinics in seven communities. “Mineral Point Medical Center has been part of our hospital family for decades,” Lisa Schnedler, President and CEO of Upland Hills Health, stated. “We will be able to bring MPMC’s best practices to UHH; offer patients the benefit of a unified medical record; and jointly meet physician recruitment needs. Together, we are stronger.” Schnedler explained that physicians and advance practice providers are being made available in clinics where need is greatest and UHH is recruiting additional providers. Two additional advanced practice nurse prescribers will start at UHH clinics in February, giving patients more choices and availability. Patients of the Mineral Point and Dodgeville Medical Centers of Upland Hills Health will enjoy the convenience of additional providers, expanded hours and more accepted insurance plans. The most recent addition is Group Health Cooperative (GHC). In the coming months, the Mineral Point and Dodgeville Clinics of Upland Hills Health will see their phone systems upgraded and computer systems converted to the Epic electronic medical record system (EMR). The Epic EMR will streamline communication with many health organizations and specialty physicians.

History In 1827, Henry Dodge, his family, and about 40 miners began what would become the city of Dodgeville. Dodge made a pact with the local Winnebago Indian leaders so he could build a cabin and smelter. The original community was comprised of three separate settlements: “Dodgeville”, “Dirty Hollow” and “Minersville”. Dodgeville, which was named after Dodge, grew slowly during its early years. It was incorporated as a village in the 1840s. Later a small “war” was fought with Mineral Point over which community would become the seat of Iowa County. At the time, Mineral Point was the seat, but Dodgeville residents felt they should have it. Dodgeville eventually won the “war” and Wisconsin’s oldest county courthouse. Dodgeville then saw a population boom, and it became a center for mining. Miners from England flooded the city, and the area flourished. British and Cornish architecture is still visible in the city today. Today the city is most commonly known for being the headquarters for the apparel company, Lands’ End. Source: Wikipedia

RELOCATION
Welcome to Dodgeville Dodgeville is a small city with a big heart and soul – all nestled in the gently rolling hills of southwest Wisconsin. Recreation opportunities are abundant and attract outdoor enthusiasts with many different interests. While the history of Dodgeville is rich and colorful, the community is dynamic and it is large enough to offer the perks of a vibrant city and small enough to breathe of a slower and more relaxed lifestyle.
Business Touting a growing population, Dodgeville sits central to the region’s rural communities and area attractions. It is home to several internationally recognized companies including Lands’ End, Walnut Hollow, Thuli Tables, Gollon Bait & Fish Farm and nearby Cummins Emissions Solutions.

Education The public school system provides general and college-preparatory high school classes with UW-Platteville and Southwest Technical College just a short drive away.

The Dodgeville School District, works hard to create relationships and provide experiences that inspire the students to dream big and strive to change the world, each with their own special talents and ambitions.

The Dodgeville Area Chamber of Commerce has a “Welcome Neighbor’’ program for those who have just moved to the area. Simply call the Chamber to set up a time to stop by and pick up a Welcome Neighbor Tote. This gift from the business community is filled with information, small tokens and lots of well wishes from your new neighbors.
