Some Aspirus hospitals recognized as Top Performers include: Aspirus Medford Hospital, Aspirus Riverview Hospital and Clinics, Inc., Aspirus Stanley Hospital, and Aspirus Wausau Hospital.

These hospitals demonstrated excellence across key categories, including Mortality-Conditions and Procedures, Patient Safety for all Patients and Patients with Surgery, Patient Experience, Readmissions, and Infection Control.

“Our recognition as Top Performers is a direct result of the dedication and teamwork across our system,” said Lisa Rowe-Peplinski, Aspirus Vice President – System Quality & Nursing Integration.

“We remain focused on providing the best possible care to our patients, and this acknowledgment is a testament to those efforts.” For more detailed information on specific hospitals and their performance, please visit the WHA CheckPoint website.
