Area medical centers are transferring doctors and other staff to where they’re needed most during the COVID-19 crisis.

As a result, Mayo’s Caledonia clinic is shutting down temporarily, as of Thursday.

Some other Mayo sites — at La Crosse’s Belle Square in Prairie du Chien and Holmen — are switching to weekday hours, only for now.

Mayo also is organizing a staff-only blood drive Friday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., at the hospital in La Crosse.

Mayo is reassigning staff members to more critical areas where they are needed.
