La Crosse, Wisconsin, midway between Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul, has a surprising number of cultural, recreational and economic opportunities for a metropolitan area with a population of 100,000. The La Crosse area is one the of premier areas in the nation for outdoor activities. We invite you to explore the richness of our area and the unusual and unique opportunity to have "A Great Life Outside the Hospital" when you do your residency at Gundersen Lutheran.
 "A significant part of my decision to come here was based not only on the excellence of the program, but on the community and lifestyle. I wanted a program that would make me an excellent physician, but one in which I would have a life outside residency as well. La Crosse has a great combination of outdoor activity and nightlife. Moreover, living so close to the hospital gives you an extra hour or two each day to spend with family or studying that would be spent commuting to the hospital in a larger city. " -Rachel Hawker, former Internal Medicine Resident
