New $51M hospital doubles patient capacity in rural Wis. county
By Rachel MergenLa Crosse Tribune
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.
The $51 million project, which will double the hospital’s patient capacity, also includes remodeling the existing 17,000-square-foot clinic.
The project was made possible with donations, federal funds and a large bond, said Gundersen Tri-County Hospital and Clinics administrator Joni Olson.

Trans patients share what it’s like to seek health care: ‘Treated without any humanity’
A few weeks ago, River Smith visited his primary care doctor in the Tampa Bay, Florida, area because he needed a new prescription for testosterone and the estrogen blocker he took as part of his gender-affirming care. That’s when he learned some news that upset him.
“They weren’t prescribing any medication,” the 40-year-old tells TODAY.com. “With the laws just passing … they were waiting for the Florida medical board to come up with their plan of action.”
In May, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law that made headlines for banning trans children from receiving gender-affirming care. But the new…
Ford government to open clinic at site of shuttered Minden ER
After weeks of pressure over the recent closure of a hospital emergency department in Minden with the busy summer cottage season approaching, the Ontario government says it will fund an urgent care clinic on the premises — but without doctors.
The plan is to have the clinic open on weekends starting June 30, and staffed by nurse practitioners and nurses, Health Minister Sylvia Jones said in a statement Tuesday.
Emergency cases will still have to make the 25-minute trip to the nearest hospital emergency room in Haliburton, which local residents have warned could result in life-threatening delays in care.
“We…
Comparing health care costs at Utah hospitals, the patient rights group finds transparency problems
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.
I tell you this is not to try to garner sympathy, but out of empathy for you all. It turned out most Americans, like…

The Canadian Medical Association and 14 other organizations representing health workers are urgent premiers to keep health care at the top of the agenda at their next meeting in July.
The provincial and territorial leaders met several times last year to compare notes on the health-care crisis and call on the federal government to give them more money to fix it.
In February, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a deal that would see Ottawa give $196 billion for the Canada Health…
