Resident Housing

Resident housing is located just a short walk away from the medical center and offers a high level of community between residents.

There are 40 town-house duplex apartments located on the immediate medical center grounds reserved for residents. This encourages strong relationships between residents in and out of the hospital. Camaraderie created by living in a community with a mixture of residents creates a bond and respect that translates into superior patient care.

These apartments rent for $625 per month. All utility bills, including heat, electricity, water, local telephone service, and basic cable with high speed internet are paid by the hospital. The apartments can be totally furnished, semi-furnished or unfurnished. Each apartment has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry area with individual washers and dryers downstairs, and two bedrooms, bathroom and study/den upstairs. All are individually heated and air conditioned. Garden space is available and plug-ins for car heaters are provided. No pets are allowed in the housing complex.
 
The housing is about two blocks away from a boat landing where you can go boating and fishing. Across the street is a full court outdoor basketball court, city league softball field and an indoor ice skating rink. In the lawn area between the circle of houses there is a sand volleyball court and playground equipment for children. There is also a trail that winds behind the housing, right along a lake and a stream for relaxing walks.

Although available, we realize that people may choose to live off campus for a variety of reasons, including family size, pets, and the desire to own a home. Listed below are some very good web sites that outline some of the options in the La Crosse area.

"The residency program and the La Crosse area foster a sense of community, almost from the first day you arrive. The on-site housing enables resident families to have a great social support network, and the low cost of living enabled my wife to spend more time at home with our kids. Also, the area offers a wealth of activities, both indoor and outdoor." —Tom Klemond, Former Internal Medicine Chief Resident

"One of the best things about this residency program is the housing. The units are excellently cared for, amazingly affordable, and imminently convenient. Even more importantly, however, their arrangement forms an instant community, providing residents and their families with friendships, understanding, and support." -Kili Wenburg, wife of former Internal Medicine Resident
