Aspirus Wausau Hospital issued the following announcement on July 6
Several Aspirus clinics are re-opening to patients after having been temporarily closed in April to allow staff and providers to support operational and COVID-19 surge planning needs at other Aspirus locations.
The following clinics will begin re-opening, starting July 6:
- Adams Clinic
- Athens Clinic
- Birnamwood Clinic
- Crossroads Clinic (Oxford, WI)
- Crystal Falls Clinic
- Gilman Clinic
- Hurley Clinic
- Marathon Clinic
- Prentice Clinic
- Three Lakes Clinic
- Wittenberg Clinic
“We are really excited to re-open these clinics and continue offering care to patients directly in their own communities,” said Matt Brewer, Vice President of Operations and Chief Nursing Officer of Aspirus Medical Group. “I’d like to thank our patients for being so understanding and flexible during a time that required us to temporarily adjust our operations to meet patient care needs at other locations in our system.”
As these clinics re-open, they will do so using the same precautions as all other Aspirus locations to protect the health of patients and staff. Masks are required of all patients and visitors, who also will receive a temperature check and be asked if they have any symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19.
Patients can schedule appointments by calling their local clinic and will be directed as appropriate.
All Aspirus locations also continue to seek cloth mask donations. These donations help preserve PPE supplies for health care workers and are welcomed by anyone willing to donate.
