State-Of-The-Art Hospitals



The purpose of the Foundation is and always has been to support Howard Young Medical Center and Aspirus Eagle River Hospital initiatives that foster the health and well-being of the communities they serve. Beginning in 2012, the Imagine Our Future campaign began a journey to transform and sustain healthcare in northern Wisconsin for generations to come by raising $30 million over the next 15-20 years. 

Since 2012, the Imagine our Future campaign has contributed over $14 million at Howard Young Medical Center and Aspirus Eagle River Hospital. Through a set of strategic donor-centered and community-focused philanthropy initiatives, the Foundation’s contributions ensure that physicians, associates, patients, friends and donors come together to fund the greatest needs and specific opportunities of our two hospitals.

Both Howard Young Medical Center and Aspirus Eagle River Hospital are not for profit, and they rely on your generosity to continue to serve our community. We strive to raise funds for projects that bring state-of-the art equipment to our rural hospitals so whether a patient is a full-time resident of the Northwoods or visiting for the weekend, they receive the best care possible right here.


Our goal to support this campaign is $30,000,000. Please help us make a difference in our community.
