Wausau-based Aspirus Health announced Thursday it plans to build a new hospital along the Highway 29 corridor in the southeast corner of Chippewa Falls. The hospital will feature emergency services, medical beds, lab and imaging diagnostic services, and a primary care clinic.
Since the March 2024 closure of the HSHS hospitals in the Chippewa Valley, there has been an unmet need for emergency and inpatient hospital services," said Matt Heywood, Aspirus Health president and CEO. “To help fill that gap. Aspirus expanded services and access in Stanley and Medford, which are located to east of Chippewa Falls. After months of investigation and productive conversations with local officials, we have created a plan to build a facility where residents could access emergency care, inpatient hospital services and primary care.”
