UW Health completed its acquisition of the Beaver Dam Medical Center from Sanford Health’s Marshfield Clinic Health System on Nov. 1. The campus, which includes a skilled nursing facility, is being renamed UW Health Beaver Dam Hospital and Clinics, and about 350 employees are joining UW Health. The same dealbook report also records separate skilled nursing property sales in Ohio and Colorado.
UW Health completed its acquisition of the Beaver Dam Medical Center from Sanford Health’s Marshfield Clinic Health System on Nov. 1, adding a campus that includes a skilled nursing facility to its Wisconsin system. The campus is being renamed UW Health Beaver Dam Hospital and Clinics, and about 350 employees are joining UW Health.
The Beaver Dam campus includes a hospital, a skilled nursing facility and independent senior living apartments. The broader set of services connected with the transaction also includes assisted living facilities and primary care clinics in several counties. Home health and hospice services will become part of UW Health Care Direct, according to the report.
UW Health said integration will occur in phases. Planned work includes aligning clinical systems, expanding access to specialists and recruiting additional staff. The source report does not specify a schedule for those steps or provide financial terms for the UW Health transaction.
The dealbook report also covers skilled nursing transactions. In Shelby, Ohio, Green Palms Health and Rehab Center of Shelby Propco LLC bought the facility property from CWood Asset Ownership LLC in a $10.5 million property transfer, according to Richland County property records cited by a local news outlet. In Castle Rock, Colorado, Brookside Inn was sold in a transaction facilitated by Senior Living Investment Brokerage. The facility has 126 licensed beds, of which 120 were operational, and occupies a 43,184-square-foot building on a 4.31-acre campus.
A Wider Care Network in Beaver Dam
Bringing the Beaver Dam campus into UW Health’s system links a community hospital and skilled nursing services with a larger academic health network. UW Health says the arrangement is intended to connect people in Dodge County and nearby communities with specialty services and coordinated care, while keeping care close to home where possible.
For patients and staff, the immediate change is the new UW Health affiliation and name, alongside the transfer of about 350 employees. The longer-term effects will depend on how the phased integration proceeds, including whether specialist access expands and additional staff are recruited. The report does not detail changes to staffing levels, service availability or patient arrangements.
The other two sales illustrate separate property activity in the skilled nursing sector, but the reported details do not establish a common cause or link among the transactions. Brookside Inn’s sale was described as part of its seller’s exit from skilled nursing, while the Ohio transfer concerned ownership of the facility property.

Three Separate Skilled Nursing Deals
The Skilled Nursing News dealbook groups the UW Health development with two property transactions; the source describes them as distinct deals. The Beaver Dam change is a health-system acquisition and integration. The Ohio item is a recorded property transfer, and the Colorado item is a brokerage-facilitated facility sale.
Brookside Inn’s Colorado-based seller had owned and operated the facility since 1997 and sold it as part of an exit from the skilled nursing industry, according to the report. A California-based operator bought the facility to expand its Colorado portfolio. Senior Living Investment Brokerage said its team of Vince Viverito, Jason Punzel, Jake Anderson and Taylor Graham handled the transaction.
Green Palms Health and Rehab Center of Shelby provides rehabilitation and long-term care, according to the report. The property records identify the buyer and seller, but the source does not name an operator change or describe whether day-to-day services at the Ohio facility will change. These details distinguish the property transactions from UW Health’s broader integration of the Beaver Dam medical campus.
““We are committed to providing care close to home whenever possible while also ensuring Beaver Dam and surrounding communities have access to the expert specialty care available at UW Health.””
— Carey Gehl, UW Health chief strategy officer
Integration Timeline and Service Changes
The report does not provide the financial terms of UW Health’s acquisition or a detailed timeline for integrating the Beaver Dam campus. It also does not say whether services, staffing arrangements or patient procedures will change during the process. UW Health has described intended goals, but the report does not provide outcome data showing how access to specialists or coordination of care has changed.
For the Ohio and Colorado transactions, some operational details remain unreported. The source gives the Ohio property price and parties but does not clarify whether the operator or care arrangements changed. For Brookside Inn, it names the buyer only as a California-based operator and does not disclose the sale price. The 126-bed figure is the facility’s stated capacity; 120 beds were operational, a distinction that should not be read as a change in capacity.
Phased Integration at Beaver Dam
UW Health says it will integrate the Beaver Dam services in phases, including clinical-system alignment, specialist access work and recruitment. The campus will operate under the UW Health Beaver Dam Hospital and Clinics name following the Nov. 1 transaction. No dates for further integration milestones were included in the source report.
Readers will be looking for updates on staffing, service availability and how patients are referred across the system as the integration develops. The dealbook does not report any announced follow-up milestones for the Ohio property transfer or Brookside Inn sale beyond the completed transactions.
