It’s an Honor to Serve You
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
is a special time of year
when we pause and give thanks for the many
blessings in our lives.
At Langlade Hospital, Christmas is a time
for us to count our blessings and give thanks
to the many thousands of people in the area
who have placed their trust in us for their care.
Over the past year we have had the privilege to
treat 27,000 people in our Emergency Department
and Walk-In Clinic; perform nearly 2,700 surgeries
and procedures; treat 1,200 inpatients; provide
outpatient services totaling 32,000 visits for cancer care, dialysis,
physician specialty clinics, imaging and laboratory services; and assist
nearly 200 mothers with the birth of their babies. Meanwhile, the
physicians and providers at the Aspirus General Clinic cared for more
than 50,000 people.
In addition to hospital and clinic services, we have provided services
to hundreds of patients at Pine Meadow, Rosalia Gardens, the LeRoyer
Child Care Center, Sports Medicine Center, Adult Day Services and
LeRoyer Hospice.
Many people have placed their health in our hands this past year—
it’s a very special responsibility, and we take it seriously every day. So
from Langlade Hospital and the Aspirus General Clinic, we would like
to thank you for allowing us to be your health care provider of choice
and wish you and your family a blessed and merry Christmas.
