Our History

• Mayo Clinic Health System - Franciscan Healthcare is the result of a 1995 partnering of the Franciscan Health System, Skemp Clinic and Mayo Clinic.

• However, our history dates back more than 125 years.

• In 1883, the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration built St. Francis Hospital in La Crosse. It was western Wisconsin's first hospital and symbolized the Sisters' pioneering vision of caring. Fundamental to their caring philosophy is their belief in caring for the whole person--body, emotions and spirit--and to do so with dignity and compassion.

• Today, we employ more than 3000 people dedicated to this philosophy of caring.

Skemp Clinic

• Skemp Clinic was founded in 1923 by Dr. Archibald Skemp. His brothers George and Fred soon joined the practice as well as his sons John, Sam, Charles and nephew Joseph.

• The clinic grew over the decades as it merged with other clinics and built more clinics to better serve patients close to home.

• Today, it employs more than 200 specialists and primary care doctors caring for patients at locations in southwestern Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa.

• Its family practice residency program is affiliated with the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine.

Mayo Clinic

• Mayo Clinic has served as a model for medical practice throughout the world since it was founded in 1889. It, too, began as the medical practice of a country doctor, William Worrall Mayo, who was soon joined by his two sons, William J. and Charles. Together the Mayo brothers quickly expanded the clinic into the world's first group medical practice, where teams of experts in various fields work together and support each other for the patient's benefit.
