Improving patient accessibility and comfort are the goals of a $3.7 million dollar renovation that began this week at the North Shore Campus of Ministry Health Care in Rhinelander.
The renovation will reconfigure parts of the facility to provide quicker access to the second floor, and have an new registration and check in area along with new waiting rooms and patient exam rooms.

"....currently most patients take an elevator to the second floor. The new stairs will be strategically placed to quickly and easily access Ministry Medical Group's services on the second floor, which include audiology, general surgery and women's health..."
The renovation will also add more parking spaces closer to the emergency area and clinic front doors.
The renovation is expected to be done by December. Dr. Sheth says the changes were brought about by advisory councils, patients and feedback from staff. He says the changes will be done with a minimum impact to patients.
