Strengthening
local care in the UP
Aspirus adds health system in Iron River, Michigan
ON
July 1, 2014, Aspirus welcomed
NORTH
STAR
Health System (NHS) to
its family of providers.
Based in Iron River, Michigan, NHS
includes a 25-bed critical access hospital,
clinics in Iron River and Crystal Falls,
and award-winning home health and
hospice services.
NHS is Aspirus’ fourth hospital
partner in Upper Michigan. Aspirus
Ontonagon Hospital, in Ontonagon,
Michigan, joined Aspirus in November
2007; Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital, in
Laurium, Michigan, joined in July 2008;
and Aspirus Grand View Hospital, in
Ironwood, Michigan, joined in October
2010. Aspirus hospitals in Wisconsin
include Aspirus Wausau Hospital,
Aspirus Medford Hospital and Langlade
Hospital in Antigo.
Better together
In today’s changing health care
industry, it is increasingly challenging
for small-town hospitals to succeed
without the advantage of sharing services
and costs with other providers. Since
joining Aspirus, all of the system’s
Upper Peninsula (UP) hospitals have
dramatically improved their financial
health and have strengthened and
increased the services available to their
patients locally.
“We believe NORTH
STAR
will be
a tremendous addition to the Aspirus
family,” says Matthew Heywood,
President/CEO of Aspirus, Inc. “This will
increase our ability to serve communities
in the western Upper Peninsula by
collaborating and sharing resources with
our other regional partners.”
Joining an affiliated group of high-
quality providers will allow NHS to
access new resources, share best practices
and realize business efficiencies. That
collaboration will be vital in the system’s
efforts to constantly improve quality and
efficiency and to thrive in an industry
that presents challenging financial,
workforce and regulatory issues.
