Aspirus Wausau Hospital has finished its emergency department expansion, which will support its work as a regional referral and tertiary care center.

Eight new patient rooms came online Tuesday, boosting the department’s capacity to 30 treatment spaces. When work on the expansion began in 2022, the department had 18 beds.

The additions include enhanced trauma and critical care rooms.

Aspirus is seeing a growing demand for emergency and trauma care.

“This final phase is about more than just physical space,” said Mason Lucca, director of the hospital’s emergency department. “It represents our ongoing commitment to providing timely, high-quality emergency care to people throughout our service area.”
