Construction on the newly expanded 75,000-square-foot Aspirus Stevens Point Clinic is on pace to be completed by June, 2018. Work is progressing on the exterior of the facility and also internally as specific departments are starting to take shape. Ground was broken in August, 2016 on the expansion of the clinic located at 5409 Vern Holmes Drive in Stevens Point. The building is expected to be finished in November, 2017, with several departments moving into new spaces within the facility in December. This includes walk-in care, radiology and the ambulatory surgery center. Laboratory will move into a temporary space until the completion of the clinic remodel.
The clinic is more than doubling in size with the construction of a 40,000-square-foot, two-story addition to provide space for specialty care, walk-in care and emergency services as well as future space for expanded services. The new emergency department (ED), the first hospital based off campus ED in central Wisconsin, will open in June, 2018. The emergency department will be a department of Aspirus Wausau Hospital, recognized by Truven Health as a 100 Top Hospital five times.
“We’re expanding our clinic space and services to meet the needs of Stevens Point and surrounding communities with high quality health care in a convenient location off I-39,” said Aspirus Stevens Point Vice President, Robert Smith. “We’re bringing together Aspirus resources in Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids and Wausau to enhance and add value to our region. We’re excited with the progress and we’re ahead of schedule thanks to a dedicated Miron Construction team and good weather.”
Aspirus Stevens Point currently offers adult and pediatric primary care, walk-in care and same-day surgery, as well as select specialty care such as obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, cardiology, GI and oncology. The current facility, built ten years ago, will also be remodeled to allow room for additional primary care providers, expanded specialty services above and beyond those currently provided at the center.
