Aspirus strives to offer world-class health care to patients from throughout Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our Community Board members decided three decades ago , when Aspirus Wausau Hospital was formed in the merger of two clinically average local hospitals , that they wanted us to be a regional provider of high-quality health care in a wide range of specialties. With the information included in these pages, we will let you see how much we have accomplished, and how we stack up statewide and nationally. You will find detailed and understandable information about:

*Executive level experience in both large and small healthcare systems, PPS and CAH experience with deep healthcare reimbursement knowledge in multiple states. *Executive sponsor for large-scale operational improvement initiative, targeting $35 million annualized savings in first year, with $23 million implemented in 10 months. *Completed successful bond refinancing including updates to master trust indenture; secured $50 million facility bridge financing despite organization bond rating downgrades. *Lean Healthcare trained; focused on identifying waste and continuous process improvement.
