Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin, has broken ground on its new six-floor, 70-bed hospital. During a special ceremony, Mayo Clinic Health System leaders expressed gratitude for the hard work of the dedicated staff and the community's support of the organization. 

The new facility will replace the current hospital building and will include: 

• a surgical and procedural floor adjacent to, and integrated with, the current operating rooms, housing pre-surgery and post-surgery recovery rooms 
• endoscopy suites 
• cardiac catheterization labs and interventional radiology 
• medical-surgical units 
• a flexible ICU and progressive care Unit 
• a new family birth center 
• space for future growth. 

This is the largest construction project in the history of the Mayo Clinic Health System. The new hospital is expected to open in late 2024.
