Aspirus St. Luke’s Superior Clinic is part of Aspirus Health, a non-profit health system based in Wausau, Wisconsin. In March 2024, Aspirus combined with Saint Luke’s Duluth to form a single organization that includes Saint Luke’s hospital in Duluth and Lake View Hospital in Two Harbors, expanding Aspirus’s reach into northern Minnesota. The merger decision was announced in early 2024, with related activities such as branding updates in mid-2024. The overall system includes 19 hospitals across Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula. For Ambulatory/clinic services, the St. Luke’s Duluth footprint (now under Aspirus) extends into the Superior/Bayfield region area, including clinics in and around Superior, WI, and Duluth, MN, as part of the integrated Aspirus network. If you’re seeking care at the Superior Clinic specifically, you’ll likely access it through the Aspirus/St. Luke’s Duluth network with aligned scheduling, patient records, and coordinated specialty services.
