Great news from Tuesday’s Council meeting! We had the joy of celebrating some amazing members of our city family. We honored Val Nelson, our dedicated Utility Clerk & Zoning Administrator, for her impressive 20 years of service. We also recognized Daron J. Haugh, City Administrator, for his 5 years of committed work with the City, and gave a heartfelt thank you to Barb Hoilien, who retired after serving 20 years as an Election worker. Though Barb has stepped down from election duties, we’re fortunate that she continues to serve our community as Alderwoman Ward 4.
In another highlight, we made a meaningful decision about one of our beloved parks. In a heartwarming tribute to the May family’s generous donation from the 1960s, Kiwanis Park will now be known as May Park. This name change not only honors their lasting legacy but also helps preserve an important piece of our community’s history.
And mark your calendars! Mayor Teske read a proclamation announcing that Arbor Day will be celebrated this Thursday, April 24, 2025. This special day reminds us all of the importance of trees in our community and our commitment to maintaining our city’s natural beauty. This event kicks off at 10:30am at veteran’s Park.

Mile Bluff Urgent Care Relocating to New Mauston Location

in Local News
Mile Bluff Medical Center has announced that its urgent care services will soon be moving to a new, more convenient location inside the Mile Bluff Gateway Center. Beginning Monday, April 21, urgent care will be available at 406 Gateway Avenue in Mauston.
The new facility is designed to continue providing the same high-quality, compassionate care the community has come to expect. Patients can look forward to a modern and comfortable environment for addressing urgent medical needs.
Currently, the emergency and urgent care departments at Mile Bluff share the same space at the main campus in Mauston. This can sometimes make it difficult for patients to know where to go for care. Understanding the difference between urgent care and emergency services can save time, money, and stress—and it can make a big difference in how quickly a patient receives treatment.
NEW Urgent Care Hours:
Beginning April 21, urgent care will be open 7 days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
This marks an expansion of hours, providing patients with more flexibility and access to care when they need it most.
No appointment is necessary to receive care, and patients are seen in the order of arrival. The urgent care team is available to help with a wide range of non-life-threatening medical concerns.
When to Visit Urgent Care vs. the Emergency Room
- Urgent Care is ideal for non-life-threatening issues such as:
- Minor cuts, sprains, or strains
- Cold, flu, or allergies
- Infections (e.g., urinary tract or ear infections)
- Deep bruises or rashes
- Emergency Room (ER) care is for serious, life-threatening conditions such as:
- Chest pain, difficulty breathing, or heart attack symptoms
- Stroke symptoms, head injuries, or loss of consciousness
- Uncontrolled bleeding, severe burns, or deep cuts
- Sudden or severe abdominal pain
In emergency situations, Mile Bluff’s Emergency Room remains open 24/7 at the main campus, located at 1050 Division Street in Mauston.
Mile Bluff Medical Center is committed to ensuring a smooth transition as urgent care services move to the new Gateway Avenue location. The organization thanks the community for its continued trust and looks forward to welcoming patients to the updated space.
