LAURIUM - Aspirus Health has announced a $31.1 million expansion project at Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital.  According to a press release from the health system, the initiative, which will improve efficiency, access, and the patient experience, underscores Aspirus’ dedication to addressing the growing health care needs in the Keweenaw and surrounding areas.  Aspirus says onsite work is scheduled to begin next month, with an estimated completion date of March 2027.  This project comes on the heels of the hospital’s shutdown of labor and delivery services in December and the closure of the Ontonagon hospital this time last year. However, Aspirus Michigan Regional Chief Nursing Officer Natalie Seaber, says this project has been in the making for a “number of years.”
