Glendale, Wis.- As part of its commitment to bring convenient, quality healthcare close to home for those in need, Ascension Wisconsin is opening three new urgent care centers in Southeast Wisconsin in partnership with Physicians Immediate Care. Physicians Immediate Care is a Midwest leader in urgent care and occupational health services with more than 40 locations in Illinois, Indiana and now Wisconsin.
“These new urgent care centers complement our existing urgent care and occupational health sites and provide additional care options to the communities we’re privileged to serve,” said Bernie Sherry, Senior Vice President, Ascension and Ministry Market Executive, Ascension Wisconsin. “These additional sites of care will allow us to continue to deliver on the promise to provide care in ways that are affordable, accessible and convenient for our communities.”
Consumers can find these new urgent care locations in their community under the name Physicians Urgent Care – supported by urgent care leader Physicians Immediate Care and with connection to the trusted healthcare services and providers of Ascension Wisconsin. The urgent care centers will be located in South Milwaukee, Brookfield and Mount Pleasant:
- Physicians Urgent Care – South Milwaukee: opened October 5, 2020, at 3111 S. Chicago Avenue, South Milwaukee, WI 53172 Hours of operation: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m.- 8 p.m., Saturday – Sunday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

- Ear infections
- Sprains and strains
- Broken bones
- Cuts that may need stitches
- Pink eye
