Marshfield Clinic Minocqua's Team Care Program hopes to improve health care in the Northwoods

MINOCQUA - The Team Care Program is helping Marshfield Clinic in Minocqua offer better health care. Marshfield Clinic in Minocqua hopes the Team Care Program will help doctors treat more patients.

Many doctors spend a lot of time on paperwork, which meant some doctors couldn't see new patients for years. Dr. Richard Fossen at Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center said he's been able to see new patients every day since they started the program.

"A lot of us got to a point where we couldn't take any new patients in our practice, we couldn't even see the patients we had when they got sick and needed to be seen," said Dr. Fossen. "So it was a really undesirable method of healthcare. We were frustrated, we had all this extra work to do, patients couldn't get in. So we decided to do something different."
