WHITEHALL, Wis. — Rural health care is about to get an upgrade for about 20,000 residents in central Trempealeau County.
The new 68,000-square-foot, 31-bed Gundersen Tri-County Hospital, full of up-to-date technology and modern medical services, will open its doors to the public July 24.

We just got out of our open enrollment period at The Tribune, and I wasn’t especially happy with what I saw this year.
To The Tribune’s credit, our health insurance plan premiums didn’t rise. But everything else was bad news. You see, the deductible rose significantly — by 66% year-over-year. And just as bad, the amount of each procedure our insurance would pay for dropped by 10 percentage points, nearly across the board. Not great, Bob.
