Groundbreaking Planned for New Hospital, Gov. Evers Makes Stop

A date is being set for groundbreaking ceremonies on a new hospital in Chippewa Falls. 

Aspirus Chippewa Falls Hospital is to be developed across the street from Fire Station #1 on Chippewa Crossing Boulevard and will be a 35-thousand-square-foot facility with an emergency department and clinic.  The groundbreaking ceremony is set for August 14th.

On that note, Governor Tony Evers was in western Wisconsin on Tuesday talking about healthcare. 

The governor visited the Chippewa Valley Free Clinic where he talked discussed his concerns about the impacts the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill will have on Badger State residents.  The governor says that an estimated 270-thousand people living in Wisconsin stand to lose their health care coverage.
