Celebrating Year 1985

In 1985, GHC-SCW deepened its connection to academic medicine when Dr. John Hansen became the Cooperative’s Medical Director. Initially drawn to the HMO model after working with GHC-SCW, Dr. Hansen took on the role in July and would go on to serve the organization for more than three decades. His leadership strengthened clinical standards and reinforced evidence-based care. 

That same year, GHC-SCW opened a new Pines Clinic in Middleton, moving from rented space into an owned-and-operated facility to support a rapidly growing membership. 

Why it matters:  Clinical leadership and academic partnerships helped lay the foundation for the quality that defines GHC-SCW today.
