US-based Aspirus Health has completed the acquisition of seven hospitals, 21 physician clinics, air and ground medical transport services in north and central Wisconsin from Ascension Wisconsin.

In January this year, Ascension Wisconsin signed the agreement to transfer the ownership of its care sites to Aspirus.

The seven Wisconsin hospitals included in the deal are Eagle River Hospital in Eagle River, Good Samaritan Hospital in Merrill, Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff, Our Lady of Victory Hospital in Stanley.

Aspirus Health also acquired Sacred Heart Hospital in Tomahawk, St. Mary’s Hospital in Rhinelander and St. Michael’s Hospital in Stevens Point.

Aspirus Health president and CEO Matthew Heywood said: “This acquisition will help Aspirus provide better and more connected care to thousands and thousands more people in our region.

“We are mission-driven to provide small communities with convenient access to compassionate, excellent care. We are excited to work with our new team members to serve more communities like the ones we call home.”
