National Rural Health Day is tomorrow, and at Westfields Hospital & Clinic, we’re proud to deliver quality care that’s close to home in western Wisconsin. Rural communities like ours are strengthened when care, technology and community partnerships come together.

Among our investments, we’re expanding virtual and phone visits and offering at-home colorectal cancer screening collection kits. We’re also building a stronger rural workforce through partnerships and programs like our Western Wisconsin Rural Family Medicine Residency, recently ranked among the top programs preparing physicians for rural practice by the Rural Medical Training Collaborative.

“Rural care must be as safe, effective, affordable and accessible as care in our city centers,” says Andrea Walsh, president and CEO. “It’s not a question of if; it’s a question of how. That’s where so much of our innovation is happening.”

Westfields Hospital & Clinic was happy to sponsor a disc golf class to teach 10 eager students the basics of the sport, including backhand and forehand throws and putting.

Special thanks to members of the New Richmond Disc Golf Association and Somerset Disc Golf Club for their generous gift of time, energy and passion -- their expert instruction brought the class to life and spread their love of disc golf!

We’re 75 and thriving – thanks to you!

Nearly 200 people joined us to celebrate 75 years of care, connection and community at Westfields Hospital & Clinic. Guests shared stories, enjoyed apple crisp, met our newest physicians and congratulated Dr. Dave DeGear on his upcoming retirement.

It was especially moving to see over half of the attendees wearing baby footprint stickers, indicating they were born at Westfields or welcomed a child here – a beautiful reminder of our deep community roots.

A huge thank you to our volunteers for creating decade-themed tables, curating historical displays and providing a warm welcome to our guests.

We’re so proud of our legacy and excited for what’s ahead. Do you have a favorite Westfields memory? Share it in the comments below!

What a frightfully fun night!

Mary Park in New Richmond was recently transformed into a haunted drive-thru for the sixth annual Scary Park event. Westfields joined the fun with a scare station, where colleagues dressed in spooky scrubs and costumes to haunt passing cars and hayrides.

Thanks to incredible community support, the event raised over $17,000 for local scholarships and projects.

Huge shoutout to all the sponsors, volunteers and attendees who helped make Scary Park a hauntingly good time. We hope you and your family had a safe, fun and spooky Halloween!
