Heidi Erl, Hospital Supervisor at Aspirus Medford Hospital, is helping the next generation recognize the signs of a stroke. During her visits to Holy Rosary School Medford, she teaches students to “BEFAST,” shares stories about families affected by stroke, and encourages kids to talk about what they learn at home. As we recognize World Stroke Day on October 29, Heidi’s work is a reminder that awareness starts early and that education can make all the difference in saving lives. | Aspirus Health

Aspirus Wausau Hospital has opened a new dual helipad that will help patients across the region get lifesaving care faster. With two landing pads located right next to the Emergency Department, emergency medical teams can move patients into treatment more quickly, especially during trauma, cardiac, or stroke events. “This is better for our patients and safer for our crews,” said Chad Eckhard, Base Aviation Manager and helicopter pilot. “It strengthens emergency access for the entire community.”

Blood clots in the legs or lungs (known as VTE) are a leading cause of preventable hospital deaths. To keep patients safer, Aspirus built stronger prevention tools right into our care process. With real-time tracking in our electronic health record, care teams can spot at-risk patients sooner and ensure they get the right treatment. A system-wide effort and a true quality win for patient safety. | Aspirus Health
