Planned Aspirus names of newly integrated locations

We’re excited to announce our new Aspirus Health locations will adopt their Aspirus names on December 1, 2021.

The team members we welcomed into the Aspirus family on August 1 have a long history of providing excellent, compassionate care and service. It’s a thrill to soon be making everyone's place in our Aspirus family clearer and easier to understand for patients and our communities through the adoption of Aspirus naming and branding.

Be on the lookout

In a lead up to these names becoming official, temporary signage will begin appearing at each location the week of October 4. The temporary signs will show what a location’s name will be once official in December.

An advertising campaign to help introduce the new names will also begin in early October.

Important: Please continue using the current names of all locations until December 1. 

Name changes effective December 1
