La Crosse Medical Health Science Consortium

The La Crosse Medical Health Science Consortium is a collaborative effort founded by two regional medical systems and three institutions of higher education: Mayo Clinic Health System - Franciscan Healthcare and Gundersen Health System; and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Viterbo University, and Western Technical College. The School District of La Crosse and the La Crosse County Health Department are also partners. The LMHSC was founded in 1993 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and a collaboration of the five founding partner institutions.While it was created in response to projected health care workforce shortages, it also facilitates improvements in regional health and healthcare and supports applied research in health and medically related disciplines.
