Member News As flu activity increases across the country, Ascension facilities in central and northern Wisconsin provide a number of options to seek treatment if needed. Ascension Emergency Departments offer 24/7 availability at Hospitals throughout the region and Urgent Care locations in Rhinelander, Merrill, Stevens Point, Plover and Stanley. “We are pleased to offer a mobile scheduling solution to meet the needs of our patients and improve access to care,” explains Vanessa Freitag, Vice President of Ambulatory Services and Operations Integration, Ascension Wisconsin. By visiting, getascensioncarencwi.org , patients will be able to view the open appointments. Patients who use this service are subject to the same treatment evaluation processes as all other patients but rather than spending time in the waiting room, they remain in the comfort of their home. In the event of a delay, users receive updated projected treatment times via automated phone call and email. Online appointment scheduling is available for Urgent Care services which are intended for individuals with non-life threatening medical conditions such as the flu. On-line check in is also available for emergency room visits for non-life threatening conditions. Another way Ascension is providing convenient access and care to patients is through HealtheVisits, an online diagnosis and treatment program for more than 20 specific common medical conditions that do not require an in-person visit. HealtheVisits is available to all Wisconsin residents and visitors ages 2 to 65 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week and costs $35 out-of-pocket.
