MENASHA - Ministry Health Care becomes sole owner of Affinity Health System

By Daniel Burkwald

Ministry Health Care of Milwaukee has taken sole ownership of Affinity Health System, one of the Fox River Valley's largest employers. While Affinity's ownership change Wednesday was a big move, it didn't include any changes in staffing among its 4,000 employees or the way it delivers care to about 400,000 people in the Fox River Valley. "One of the things we plan to do is take the next three to five months to review all of our operations. We're trying to create a more integrated management team," said Nick Desien, president and CEO of Ministry Health Care based in Milwaukee. Ministry became sole owner of Affinity after buying out its former partner, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare.
