Riverview Hospital Association was organized by community leaders in 1912 to operate a local hospital and otherwise fill the health care needs of Wisconsin Rapids, South Wood County and the surrounding areas. Riverview Hospital Association today remains one of the few independent, community-owned and operated health care providers in Wisconsin.

The Riverview Hospital Association owns and operates:

Riverview Hospital, established in 1912 and expanded many times over the years. The current hospital building opened at 410 Dewey Street in 1967, with additions in 1976, 1983, 1994, 2002, 2003 and 2009. The outpatient Riverview Rehabilitation Center moved to a community location in 1992 and currently is located northeast of the hospital's main parking lot in Riverview's Bethke Building, 1041 Hill Street.

Riverview Family Clinic, organized in 1996 to fill a community need for primary medical care in the physician office setting. This service includes offices in Wisconsin Rapids (4th Floor, Riverview East Medical Building), Nekoosa (Riverview Family Clinic Nekoosa) and the Rome-Lakes area (Lakes Area Medical Center). Rehabilitation services are also available at the Nekoosa and Rome-Lakes area clinics.

UW Cancer Center Riverview, opened in 2003 in cooperation with UW Comprehensive Cancer Center, Madison. UW Cancer Center Riverview provides a full range of cancer services including state-of-the-art tomotherapy radiation therapy. Patients have access to consultations and resources through the world-renowned UW Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only comprehensive cancer center in Wisconsin as designated by the National Cancer Institute.
