Company History
The history of Aspirus dates back to the days when lumberjacks worked the timberlands of central Wisconsin. In 1886, Wausau’s first hospital, a 25-bed “ticket hospital,” opened and Aspirus was born and later grew into a world-class health system that includes seven partner hospitals, more than 35 community-based clinics, and a vast physician network.
Aspirus has one of the nation’s best cardiovascular programs and also provides leading-edge cancer, trauma, women’s health, and spine and neurological care. In addition to these services and its affiliated hospitals and clinics, Aspirus also serves people through home health and hospice care; pharmacies; critical care and helicopter transport service; durable medical goods; skilled nursing homes; a large volunteer corps; and a philanthropic and research foundation.
