Gundersen St. Elizabeths Hospital and Clinics

At Gundersen St. Elizabeths Hospital and Clinics, our mission is love + medicine. Our roots date back to 1898 when three Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother arrived in Wabasha. They cared for 38 patients that first year. Sixty-six miles southeast, another hospital was forming. Adolf Gundersen began his La Crosse practice in 1891. When Lutheran Hospital opened in 1902, Gundersen served as the hospitals first medical director. In 2020 nearly 125 years later Gundersen Health System and St. Elizabeths Medical Center joined forces to enhance the quality of care provided to our patients in Wabasha, western Wisconsin and the surrounding communities. Two different hospitals, but one mission that still rings true today: to improve the health and well-being of all people in the communities where we live and serve. Caring meet excellence again and againwherever you live-- if youre receiving that care through the Gundersen Health System
