As part of renovations going on at Ministry St. Mary's Hospital and Ministry Medical Group Clinic in Rhinelander, a walking and biking path is being built to connect with other trails.
Hospital President Sandy Anderson says the pathway is part of on-going construction and will join up with pathways provided by the Oneida County Biking and Walking Trails Council...
".....so people who want to walk to the hospital or may want to walk or promote health and wellness or bike would be able to use that path and avoid vehicle traffic...."
Anderson says right now the grass has been cut shorter on the Ministry property so the contractors can see where the path is intended to go. Anderson says depending on the weather, this phase of the overall construction should be done by mid-December. Anderson says the current interior construction is designed to make it easier for patients to get around once they come inside the front doors and to allow for faster registration and check in.
