DULUTH, MN (OnFocus) – Each year on Veterans Day, the nation unites to honor the brave men and women who have selflessly served their country. Aspirus Health is committed to recognizing and supporting veterans every day, ensuring they receive the care and respect they have earned.
Aspirus Health has established programs and partnerships dedicated to veterans. For years, Aspirus Lake View Two Harbors Clinic and Aspirus Lake View Silver Bay have proudly partnered with the Silver Bay Veterans Home, collaborating to support the health and well-being of those who served.
“Our veterans have sacrificed a lot. They sacrifice time away from their families, sometimes their life in terms of fighting for our country,” Aspirus Lake View President Greg Ruberg said. “Our thought process is it’s one small gesture that we can do to show our appreciation for what they’ve given to our country. So again, we’re honored to be a part of that. We’re very grateful that we can continue supporting that.”
Through the partnership the Aspirus Lake View Clinics provide lab services, physician services, speech language pathology services and other care as needed to veterans at the Silver Bay Veterans Home.
Staff at the Silver Bay Veterans Home say it’s been nice working with the local care teams, especially in the winter in Northern Minnesota when the conditions aren’t ideal.
“It’s important for residents to be able to get high-quality care,” Silver Bay Veterans Home Director of Nursing Rennae Houle Burns. “They deserve that. It’s nice to be able to get a lot of those services here, within their home versus having to go out to obtain those services.”
In addition to partnering with the Silver Bay Veterans Home, Aspirus Health also offers veterans nationally recognized comfort and hospice care through the We Honor Veterans program, and eligible veterans can receive urgent care and walk in care clinics that are fully covered in Upper Michigan and parts of Wisconsin.
