Medical Services, Inc.

Medical Services, Inc., operating as Tamarack Health Hayward Medical Center, is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity located in Hayward, Wisconsin. Registered in SAM.gov since 2008, the organization is primarily a hospital that provides medical services with a focus on serving the local healthcare needs of the community, particularly veterans in the Hayward region. The entity is positioned to receive federal grant awards and has been actively participating in healthcare-related funding programs that support rural medical infrastructure and COVID-19 response initiatives.

The medical center has received federal grant awards from multiple agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). A significant recent award is a $4,000,000 congressional directive grant for a three-year period focused on supporting medical services, with specific emphasis on radiology and laboratory services. Previous sub-grant awards through the University of Wisconsin System and Wisconsin Hospital Association were primarily centered on COVID-19 response efforts, including purchasing personal protective equipment (PPE), expanding testing capabilities, and addressing clinical service needs during the pandemic. These grants, sourced from programs like the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP) and American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding, demonstrate the medical center's critical role in providing essential healthcare services and responding to public health emergencies in a rural Wisconsin community.
