Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin's ASC and health center developments could make a $53 million economic impact on the area, according to gmtoday.com.
Three quick facts:
1. The Milwaukee-based health system plans to open a 17,000-square-foot ASC in Polk, Wis., this fall, followed by West Bend (Wis.) Health Center in early 2020.
2. The 100,000-square-foot health center will offer primary care, urgent care, occupational medicine and pain management services. West Bend Health Center will also deliver orthopedic and spine services through OrthoNow, a walk-in clinic.
3. With three surgery rooms and two procedure suites, the ASC will be similar to Froedtert's existing one in West Bend. It will be connected to the adjacent St. Joseph's Hospital by a long corridor.
