Wheaton Franciscan-St. Francis to build new outpatient center

In what will be its largest investment in more than a decade, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-St. Francis plans to build a $27.8 million outpatient center and medical office building on its Milwaukee campus. The four-story, 80,000-square-foot office building, scheduled to be completed in September, will include two floors of space for future expansion. The investment signals Wheaton Franciscan’s commitment to the hospital, which has lost money in its last two fiscal years and operates in the shadow of Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center about a mile away.
