Aurora Gets Approval For $228 Million Mount Pleasant Campus

MOUNT PLEASANT, WI — Advocate Aurora Health has received an important zoning approval from the Mount Pleasant Village Board this week for a $228 million hospital and medical center.

The Mount Pleasant Village Board voted Monday evening to approve rezoning for a 198,000-square-foot medical center and 98,000-square-foot medical office building at Highway 20, at the Northeast Frontage Road and Washington Ave.

Aurora officials told Patch that the new medical center will include 60 medical surgical and intensive care beds, four observation beds, five operating rooms and also two procedure rooms.

It will offer inpatient care, surgical services, an emergency department with intended level three trauma services, as well as many other ancillary services, including rehabilitation, imaging, laboratory, and pharmacy, officials said.

The medical office building will house approximately 24 specialty providers, sports medicine, rehabilitation services and a conference center.

Construction is likely to begin in summer 2019, after road construction is complete. Early 2022 is the targeted opening to patients.
