Mile Bluff Medical Center is the only full-service hospital in Juneau County, serving nearly 55,000 residents across an eight-county region, and operates a 40-bed acute care hospital, five outreach clinics, two nursing and rehabilitation centers, assisted living, retirement communities, a sleep center and a retail pharmacy, with more than 40 visiting specialists providing additional care access. Mile Bluff received the 2024 “Performance Leadership Award” from The Chartis Center for Rural Health. The hospital was the first adopter of Expanse Navigator, an AI-powered solution embedding Google Health search and summarization capabilities into its MEDITECH Expanse EHR, which has saved clinicians more than seven minutes per patient encounter. In 2025, Mile Bluff opened the newly renovated Mile Bluff Gateway Center, a 26,000-plus-square-foot facility housing urgent care, retail pharmacy and dialysis departments, and has recently added a birth center, an infusion and cancer care center, and a nuclear medicine imaging suite. The hospital received the American Heart Association’s “Target: Type 2 Diabetes Participant” award in 2024 and has established a comprehensive opioid stewardship program integrating clinical best practices, advanced technology and community engagement.
