Marshfield Clinic Comfort and Recovery – Wausau represents an innovative approach to patient care, offering an environment specially designed for post-surgical recovery. The facility encompasses 12 private patient suites, each thoughtfully created to support the unique needs of individuals following surgery and procedures performed at the adjacent Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). By providing a dedicated short-term stay option specifically for recovery, Marshfield Clinic Comfort and Recovery – Wausau allows patients to heal in a setting that bridges the gap between a hospital and home, optimizing both safety and comfort.
Every suite at Marshfield Clinic Comfort and Recovery – Wausau includes a private bathroom and shower, an in-suite dining area, dedicated workspace, wireless Internet access, and a sleeper sofa to accommodate family members who wish to stay close during a loved one’s recovery. This attention to comfort and privacy ensures that patients benefit from a restful space that also encourages the involvement of family in the healing process. The facility is directly connected to the ASC, providing seamless transitions for those who require a short-term recovery period after their procedures.
Medical care is available 24 hours per day, with a team of physicians and nurses on-site to respond to any health needs as they arise. This model maintains a personal, attentive level of care while enabling patients to begin necessary physical therapy and rehabilitation as early as possible.
