"I was attracted to the Health System's mission of enriching lives through accessible, affordable, compassionate health care," said Dr. Ambrosi. "The Health System shares my dedication to quality rural health care. Although Minocqua is a small city, the Health System has the facilities to provide advanced, excellent health care for patients in a large geographic area."
