Ascension Wisconsin plans to build its second small-scale hospital and primary care clinic in Greenfield, Wisconsin, in space currently occupied by a Barnes & Noble bookstore. The health center will provide access to primary, specialty, hospital and emergency services.
The facility is part of Ascension Wisconsin’s promise to expand access to healthcare. 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, a joint venture between Ascension Wisconsin and Emerus Holdings.
“We know that having convenient access to care is a priority for our patients and their families. This new health center provides an innovative way to integrate inpatient and outpatient services while keeping care close to home,” said Bernie Sherry, Senior Vice President, Ascension, and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension Wisconsin. “We look forward to working with Emerus to make healthcare more accessible for the communities we’re privileged to serve.”
The new hospital will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 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. This is the second facility of its kind that will be owned and operated under the Ascension Wisconsin-Emerus joint venture.
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 X-ray services.
