What it reported doing in 2015
WHEATON FRANCISCAN HEALTHCARE IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN Wheaton Franciscan Healthcares service to Southeast Wisconsin dates back to 1879 when the Franciscan Sisters began operating a health care ministry out of a small house. Five years later they opened their first hospital in Milwaukee St. Joseph. Over the next 100 years, the Sisters known as the Wheaton Franciscans after 1947 expanded their Milwaukee health care ministry and, in 1993, partnered with the Felician Sisters. Through the union of numerous separate but common functions including Boards of Directors, medical groups, and corporate services, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare has created a fully integrated region that allows it to share best practices and create cost efficiencies.

Operating model
