MERRILL, WI (OnFocus) – Aspirus is moving forward with plans for a transformative $40 million renovation and expansion project at Aspirus Merrill Hospital. The project remains on pace to begin construction this summer and reflects Aspirus’ ongoing commitment to enhancing health care access, quality, and patient experience in the Merrill area.
As part of the renovation, several inpatient rooms will be completely rebuilt with modern features that include new lighting, built-in storage, rubber flooring, and integrated patient lifts to improve both comfort and safety. The design will also introduce a fresh, calming aesthetic inspired by nature, local heritage, and the community’s rich history.
The expansion will double the hospital’s inpatient bed count from 10 to 20 and includes updates to imaging, rehabilitation, laboratory, pharmacy services, and several public and staff areas.
Sustainability is a key focus of the project, with upgrades such as full window replacements, a new energy-efficient roof, and other infrastructure improvements that will enhance building performance and reduce environmental impact.
Aspirus remains committed to strengthening rural care access and looks forward to renovations beginning later this year.
