The system provides a wide array of medical services, including cardiology, pediatrics, and family medicine, integrating care across various specialties to manage patient well-being effectively.

The organization traces its origins to 1891 when Norwegian-born surgeon Adolf Gundersen, MD, established his practice in La Crosse. Dr. Gundersen further solidified his vision by serving as the first medical director of Lutheran Hospital upon its opening in 1902, pioneering an integrated approach to healthcare delivery by co-locating his clinic with the hospital. This foundational structure aimed to enhance patient access and continuity of care.
Gundersen Health System serves a broad population across the Upper Midwest. Operating with a commitment to comprehensive and empathetic care, it is currently evolving into Emplify Health through a strategic partnership. The company’s long-term vision is to amplify the positive impact of a health system within its communities, delivering high-quality, patient-centered care into the future.
