St. Luke’s and Lake
View unveiled the organization’s new names and logos during ribbon cutting
ceremonies today in Duluth and Two Harbors. Leaders from both communities were
on hand to commemorate the events.
The two hospitals
are now known as Aspirus St. Luke’s Hospital and Aspirus Lakeview Hospital.
Their clinics names have also changed to include Aspirus St. Luke’s and Aspirus
Lake View. New clinic names include Aspirus St. Luke’s Hibbing Clinic and
Aspirus Lake View Silver Bay Clinic. A full list of clinic names are online at slhduluth.com/Aspirus.
“This is a major
step forward for our communities,” Aspirus Senior Vice President, Minnesota
Region President, and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nick Van Deelen said. “We are
proud to officially add Aspirus to our names and continue caring for our
community as part of this incredible system while providing the same
top-quality care you’ve come to expect.”
“We look forward to
living our mission in the Northland and delivering compassionate high-quality
care to those we serve.” Aspirus Health Senior Vice President and Central
Wisconsin Region President Jeff Wicklander said. “We value healing people,
promoting health and strengthening our communities.”
Aspirus Lake View
President Greg Ruberg echoed those sentiments.
“As part of the
Aspirus Health family, we now have access to expanded resources and support,
allowing us to further invest in care models and services that are vital to
providing great care in more rural areas.” Ruberg said. “We are excited about
this new chapter and are looking forward to continuing to serve our patients as
part of the Aspirus family.”
The Aspirus name is
formed by combining the Latin words meaning “to breathe upon” and “as one,”
into a single word meaning “to live with united spirit.” The dew drop leaf icon
in the logo symbolizes health and growth, and the human element emphasizes the
nurturing of well-being. The logo colors symbolize woods and water, and life
and vitality.
