St. Joe’s to Close Earlier than Planned News | January 29, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy St. Joe’s in Chippewa Falls is closing earlier than first expected. Originally, HSHS said the hospital would close in April, but a letter sent out last week said St. Joe’s will now close on March 22nd. HSHS and Prevea announced this month that they are closing all of their hospitals and clinics in the Chippewa Valley. The closing means patients at St. Joseph’s will need to find new doctors as of mid-March.
