Germantown, Wis. – Aurora Health Care today opened its new Aurora Germantown Health Center, a 76,000 square foot building featuring an ambulatory surgery center, as well as expanded and new services to the Germantown-area, including oncology and cardiology.

Aurora Cancer Care will also begin offering oncology services at the clinic, with 16 medical oncology infusion bays, six private exam rooms and a private infusion room.

“The Aurora Germantown Health Center will bring both new and expanded services to residents throughout the area,” said Carrie Killoran, executive vice president of Aurora Health Care’s Central Region. “The new same-day ambulatory surgery center will bring much needed surgery offerings to patients, while our cancer care program will help patients continue to receive the care they need while staying close to home. This is an investment in the health of this community, and we’re thrilled for this day to be here.”
Expanded Services in Cardiology, Orthopedics and Women’s Health
The Aurora Health Center in Germantown will also offer expanded existing offerings to patients in the area, including cardiology, orthopedics, podiatry and women’s health services.
