Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Facilities Adopt New Location Names

Wisconsin Rapids, WI (WFHR, WIRI)

To enhance patient clarity regarding their locations, Aspirus Riverview Hospital and Aspirus Doctors Clinic have now incorporated “Wisconsin Rapids” into their names.

As of February 1, Aspirus Riverview Hospital is now Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital, and Aspirus Doctors Clinic is Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Clinic-Peach Street.

Location-based name changes have also been implemented at the other Aspirus Health facilities in the greater Wisconsin Rapids area.

The changes are consistent with the naming pattern the organization is implementing for hospitals and clinics throughout our service area. For example, Aspirus Riverview Clinic-Wisconsin Rapids is now Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Clinic-Dewey Street; Aspirus Riverview Therapies is Aspirus Outpatient Therapies-Wisconsin Rapids; Aspirus Riverview Clinic-Nekoosa is Aspirus Nekoosa Clinic; and Aspirus Riverview Clinic-Adams is now Aspirus Adams Clinic.

“The new location-based names will be much clearer for our patients,” said Aspirus Southwest WI Division President Chris Squire. “The new names will be especially helpful to patients who are traveling from outside the area. Because of the excellent care we provide and some of the specialized services we offer, we have many patients, staff, and students coming to our facilities who are not from Wisconsin Rapids, so ‘Riverview’ and ‘Doctors Clinic’ can be confusing for them. The simpler, location-specific names will provide clarity.”
