Aspirus Health has commenced construction on its $5m renovation and expansion at Aspirus Houghton Clinic to improve healthcare efficiency, access, and patient experience in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, US.

The construction is led by the company in collaboration with Miron Construction and Plunkett Raysich Architects.

Site preparation and fencing installation works commenced last month.

This expansion of the clinic is a response to the growing demand for improved healthcare services.

Aspirus Health regional clinics director Laura Brogan said: “This facility is designed to enhance our patients’ overall experience by focusing on team-based care and efficiency—from the moment you enter the parking lot, throughout your visit with our care teams, and even as you leave the facility.”

The renovation and expansion project includes the construction of two new procedure rooms, 13 new exam rooms, a drive-through pharmacy, and a redesigned central registration and waiting area.

The Aspirus Houghton Clinic’s project is anticipated to be completed in January 2026.
