Aspirus Health Expands Houghton Clinic with $5 Million Renovation and Expansion Project

Aspirus Health is embarking on a $5 million renovation and expansion project at its Aspirus Houghton Clinic in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, United States. The construction is being led by the company in collaboration with Miron Construction and Plunkett Raysich Architects. Site preparation and fencing installation works commenced last month, and the expansion is a response to the growing demand for improved healthcare services. The renovation and expansion project includes the construction of two new procedure rooms, 13 new exam rooms, a drive-through pharmacy, and a redesigned central registration and waiting area. The existing space will also be updated to better serve the community. According to Laura Brogan, the regional clinics director at Aspirus Health, "This facility is designed to enhance our patients’ overall experience by focusing on team-based care and efficiency—from the moment you enter the parking lot, throughout your visit with our care teams, and even as you leave the facility." The project follows Aspirus Health's recent announcement of a $31.1 million investment to expand Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital in Laurium, Michigan. Melanee Tiura, the chief administrative officer at Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital, said, "We’re excited to enhance and broaden local care while also contributing to the growth of the local economy. We are committed to continuously improving healthcare for our community. While the clinic has served this community for many years, it became clear that to meet the growing needs of our patients, we needed to expand services and capacity." The Aspirus Houghton Clinic's project is anticipated to be completed in January 2026. This expansion is part of Aspirus Health's ongoing commitment to improving healthcare for its patients and contributing to the growth of the local economy.
