Cancer Center of Western Wisconsin

What Cancer Center of Western Wisconsin does

Cancer Center of Western Wisconsin (CCWW) is a not-for-profit cooperative cancer care network formed in May 2011 through a partnership between six community-based critical access hospitals in western Wisconsin: Amery Hospital & Clinic, Hudson Hospital & Clinic, Osceola Medical Center, St. Croix Health (St. Croix Falls/Frederic), Western Wisconsin Health (Baldwin), and Westfields Hospital & Clinic (New Richmond). The organization delivers comprehensive oncology services — medical oncology, hematology, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgical oncology — to cancer patients across a rural western Wisconsin catchment, with the explicit goal of providing expert care close to home to avoid long-distance travel to metropolitan centers. Its 22 highly skilled multidisciplinary clinicians (oncologists, nurses, dietitians, genetic counselors, pharmacists) operate across six locations, with radiation oncology delivered at the New Richmond campus through partner Minneapolis Radiation Oncology (MRO) and clinical trials access provided via Cancer Research Center and the Metro-Minnesota Community Oncology Research Consortium (MMCORC).

The center's service portfolio extends beyond core oncology into a layered support stack: genetic counseling, rehabilitation (physical, occupational, speech, lymphedema, pool therapy), palliative care, mental health counseling, integrative therapies (massage, music), registered dietitian nutrition services, and a post-treatment survivorship program that includes the "Beyond Treatment" podcast hosted by CCWW Director Lisa Johnson-Bleskey. Patient resources — a Cancer Care Guide, transportation assistance, and prosthetics/wig referrals — round out a community-style care model.

Commercially, CCWW operates as a not-for-profit healthcare services provider (Tax ID 27-3238660) reimbursed primarily through insurance for clinical services; no public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed. Its go-to-market is referral-based (physician referrals are common but not required) augmented by community-led engagement — patient testimonials, community events (Christmas Home Tours, Relay for Life), caregiver conferences, and an active Facebook presence. The organization is structurally embedded within the HealthPartners care system (which serves 1.2 million+ patients across Minnesota and western Wisconsin) for Amery, Hudson, and New Richmond locations, providing a degree of systemic integration that shapes both its patient flow and operational governance.
