Richland Center, WI – The Richland Hospital and Clinics is pleased to announce Dr. Claire Fletcher, family medicine and obstetrics, will begin work in January at the Richland Center location. Her attention to all patients in every age and stage of life, including the comprehensive care for women from preconception, pregnancy, delivery and the health of the newborn, offers our community an exceptional choice for long-term care. She’s also thrilled to be locating in this area.
“My family and I were impressed by the natural beauty of the Driftless region and the community of Richland Center,” says Dr. Fletcher. “My husband and I have two young children and there appear to be a lot of things for families to see and do,” she adds. Dr. Fletcher was also impressed by how much priority is given to environmental stewardship. “We are looking forward to learning more about our new home once we arrive,” she exclaimed.
“Dr. Fletcher brings a rare combination of clinical excellence, warmth, and a deep commitment to community-focused care,” says Brian Puls, Vice President of Clinic Services. “Her training in both family medicine and obstetrics, along with her passion for caring for patients across all life stages, made her an outstanding fit for our team and our community. We’re thrilled to welcome her to Richland Center.”
Fletcher comes to us most recently from Glacial Ridge HealthSystem in Glenwood, Minnesota where she practiced family medicine and obstetrics since 2022. She earned her medical degree from University of Kentucky College of Medicine in 2018, before completing her residency and later family medicine obstetrics fellowship at SeaMar Community Health Center in Marysville, Washington.
“Fortunately, we’re making the move to the area around mid-November,” says Fletcher, excited to arrive ahead of winter a bit. She grew up in the south, but she’s ready for another Midwest winter. “After a few years in Minnesota, we learned the importance of snow pants!”
