April 18 – Newsmaker event with Aspirus Health CEO Matt Heywood

As rural hospitals across the country continue to struggle, Aspirus Health has its foot on the gas. Under the leadership of CEO Matt Heywood, the Wausau-based system followed up its 2021 purchase of seven Ascension hospitals with the recent acquisition of Duluth-based St. Luke’s.

Aspirus is now a 19-hospital system with 130 outpatient clinics and nearly 14,000 employees, spanning Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. And the growth might not be done.

At a Wisconsin Health News Newsmaker event in Madison on April 18, Heywood will discuss what’s driving Aspirus’ expansion, what’s next and what he sees as the future of rural healthcare.
