Advocate Aurora Health Care Plans $250 Million Hospital Complex

RACINE COUNTY, WI — Advocate Aurora Healthcare is making a giant splash in Racine County, announcing plans to build a $250 million hospital complex near the Foxconn plant.

According to a Milwaukee Business Journal report Thursday, the complex will consist of a hospital, two clinics and a medical office building in Mount Pleasant.

On Thursday, the Business Journal reported that Advocate Aurora announced the acquisition of a 96-acre site for the project at the northeast corner of Interstate 94 and State Highway 20.

“Growth in the Racine County corridor provides an immediate opportunity for Advocate Aurora Health to accelerate our population health efforts to deliver greater value for the communities and employers we are privileged to serve,” said Jim Skogsbergh, president and CEO of Advocate Aurora Health in a prepared statement. "We’ll bridge the gap in services and leverage our two legacy systems’ clinical expertise and fully integrated delivery models in the surrounding area.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2018 with the new campus expected to open in 2021.
