CedarCrest Surgery Center
Western Wisconsin Independent Medical Campus
BWBR collaborated with Surgery Management Professionals to create a new Ambulatory Surgery Center and attached clinic in northwestern Wisconsin. CedarCrest Surgery Center enhances the region’s service capacity by expanding and consolidating functions previously spread across leased spaces and the local hospital into one convenient location.
The design features exposed wood accents, reflecting the forested site, and abundant access to natural daylight, supporting wellbeing for patients, visitors, and staff. With modern, state-of-the-art facilities, CedarCrest brings high-quality care close to home for the Rice Lake community.
