Delivering on a promise to expand access to healthcare, Ascension Wisconsin plans to open a new health center in Greenfield, Wisconsin. The health center will provide access to primary, specialty, hospital and emergency services.
The 32,000-square-foot health center will house a small-scale hospital with emergency services and eight inpatient beds. The hospital will be owned and operated by Ascension Wisconsin Emerus JV, LLC, which is a joint venture between Ascension Wisconsin and Emerus Holdings.
The new hospital will operate 24/7 year-round. It will be staffed by emergency medicine physicians, experienced nurses and clinical specialists dedicated to providing the same level of compassionate, personalized care found at Ascension Wisconsin and Emerus’ hospitals and clinics across the country.
Ascension Wisconsin will establish a primary and specialty care clinic and outpatient diagnostic imaging facility within the health center. Cardiology and electrophysiology will be provided to complement primary care services and the imaging center will include MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography and W-ray services.
The health center project will create 50 to 70 new jobs. Construction is expected to begin in the spring, with a tentative opening of late summer 2021.
