The renewed decision by the UW Medical Foundation to move an infertility clinic from University Hospital to a Middleton site is part of a long-term strategy to move women’s health services to community clinics, according to foundation president Dr. Jeffrey Grossman.
The decision by hospital and foundation officials Saturday to reverse a decision to close the clinic and keep it open in the hospital until a Middleton clinic can open followed a firestorm of community protest. The decision restored a long-time plan that had been interrupted because of personnel difficulties among the clinic’s doctors.
