The hospital was initially set to open with 70 beds, but the Rochester, Minn.-based health system recently decided to add 24 more beds, upping the total to 96.
“Forward-looking facilities that exemplify Mayo Clinic values close to home are a key part of our Mayo Clinic Health System Bold. Forward. 2030 strategy,” Prathibha Varkey, president of Mayo Clinic Health System, said in an Aug. 22 news release. “We are thrilled to enrich the wellness and health of our community through this new hospital and provide an inspiring work environment for our hardworking, outstanding staff.”

- Endoscopy suites, medical-surgical units and a family birth center
- Cardiac catheterization labs and interventional radiology
- Flexible ICU and progressive care unit
- Shell space for future growth
The La Crosse hospital is the largest construction project in the history of Mayo Clinic Health System.
“This hospital sets a new standard for community health systems with digitally enabled spaces designed for convenience, safety and quality now and in the future,” Richard Helmers, MD, regional vice president of Mayo Clinic Health System in Wis., said.
