Aspirus Health Proudly Serves Veterans
Aspirus Lake View Partners with Silver Bay Veterans Home to care for local heroes
11/8/2024
Each year on
Veterans Day, the nation unites to honor the brave men and women who have
selflessly served their country. Aspirus Health is committed to recognizing and
supporting veterans every day, ensuring they receive the care and respect they
have earned.
Aspirus Health has
established programs and partnerships dedicated to veterans. For years, Aspirus
Lake View Two Harbors Clinic and Aspirus Lake View Silver Bay have proudly
partnered with the Silver Bay Veterans Home, collaborating to support the
health and well-being of those who served.
“Our veterans have
sacrificed a lot. They sacrifice time away from their families, sometimes their
life in terms of fighting for our country,” Aspirus Lake View President Greg
Ruberg said. “Our thought process is it’s one small gesture that we can do to show
our appreciation for what they’ve given to our country. So again, we’re honored
to be a part of that. We’re very grateful that we can continue supporting
that.”
Through the
partnership the Aspirus Lake View Clinics provide lab services, physician
services, speech language pathology services and other care as needed to
veterans at the Silver Bay Veterans Home.
Staff at the Silver
Bay Veterans Home say it’s been nice working with the local care teams,
especially in the winter in Northern Minnesota when the conditions aren’t
ideal.
“It’s important for
residents to be able to get high-quality care,” Silver Bay Veterans Home
Director of Nursing Rennae Houle Burns. “They deserve that. It’s nice to be
able to get a lot of those services here, within their home versus having to go
out to obtain those services.”
In addition to
partnering with the Silver Bay Veterans Home, Aspirus Health also offers
veterans nationally recognized comfort and hospice care through the We Honor
Veterans program, and eligible veterans can receive urgent care and walk in
care clinics that are fully
covered in Upper Michigan and parts of Wisconsin.
