Here's a look inside the new Sheboygan Aurora Medical Center and details about when the hospital and medical offices will open.
SHEBOYGAN - Construction of the new Aurora Medical Center - Sheboygan County at 3400 Union Ave. is complete and offices have begun moving in to the facility.
Construction started in 2019, and while some offices are moving in now and may open soon, the entire facility, including the hospital, is set to open in July.
Jessica Bauer, central Wisconsin patient service area president for Advocate Aurora Health, said in a news release that “the community will start seeing clinical areas move into the new facility this spring. We are moving into this new facility in a phased approach and are on track to open the entire facility this July.”
Clinics from Aurora Health Center in Sheboygan, at 2414 Kohler Memorial Drive, are expanding as part of growth. Some clinics at that location will move to the new hospital site while others will expand in the current facility.
Orthopedics, spine, pulmonology, cardiology and general surgery will move into Aurora Medical Center - Sheboygan County beginning April 11, Aurora said.
The Kohler Memorial Drive location will remain open and remaining services such as family and internal medicine, pediatrics, ophthalmology and urgent care will expand in the current clinic.
This summer, when the entire hospital opens, women’s health and sports health will move from the current Kohler Memorial Drive clinic into the new hospital location. Patients will receive communication about their provider location as dates get closer, Aurora said.
