Froedtert hasn't responded to a unanimous Kenosha City Council vote Monday night urging the non-profit to re-establish its critical care unit at its hospital in Kenosha. The closure of the CCU means that the Kenosha Fire Dept. will be diverting heart patients to Froedtert Pleasant Prairie, located six miles away. The closing reportedly won't impact Kenosha's E-R. Kenosha Fire Chief Charles Leipzig said Monday that 64 cardiac patients and a few others in need of the CCU were transported to Kenosha Hospital last year. WGTD erroneously reported that Leipzig believed that the new fire station at 52nd St. and 22nd Ave. might not have been the best location for the firehouse had the department known in advance of the CCU closure.
