Strategic growth Leverage Emplify Health by Gundersen Hillsboro’s expansion into Monroe County through the planned acquisition of Sparta Area Ambulance to offer integrated EMS and hospital services, creating cross-sell opportunities for digital health records, patient engagement tools, and care coordination solutions.

Digital health The organization already uses Epic Beacon and MyChart, indicating receptivity to modern EMR and patient portal integrations; position additional patient engagement, telehealth, and data analytics tools that enhance interoperability and care continuity across Hillsboro, Elroy, and Wonewoc clinics.

Quality leadership Frequent recognition such as Chartis Performance Leadership Award and UW Regents Partnership Award signals a commitment to top-tier patient experience; target premium services and dashboards, staff training platforms, and patient feedback analytics to further strengthen quality metrics.

Financial scale With revenue in the $1M–$10M range and a workforce of 51–200, there is room to introduce scalable, cost-effective solutions (automation, scheduling, revenue cycle tools, workforce planning) designed for mid-market health systems seeking efficiency without large-cap deployments.

Integrated care The network spans multiple clinics and a regional center; present end-to-end care coordination and population health management offerings (care plans, patient reminders, interoperability, analytics) to support seamless patient journeys across hospitals, clinics, and EMS services.
