Froedtert & Medical College to expand services in Brookfield
New health center will anchor Irgens development on Calhoun Road
Milwaukee, WI (March 7, 2016) – By the end of the year, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin will open a new health center in Brookfield, leasing space in a medical office building planned by Irgens.
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Calhoun Health Center will lease 15,000 square feet in the new building and offer primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, maternal fetal medicine and laboratory and radiology services. The former LifeTime OB/GYN practice, which joined the Froedtert & MCW health network in October, will relocate to the Calhoun Health Center from its two current offices in Brookfield and Milwaukee.
“We continue to experience strong demand for our services in Waukesha County, and the Calhoun Road location will be convenient for our patients,” said Mark Lodes, MD, president, Froedtert & MCW Community Physicians.
Located at 1905 N. Calhoun Road, the 23,000-square-foot building will occupy the site of the former Venice Club restaurant. Construction is slated to begin in April. Lodes said Irgens intends to seek additional medical and dental tenants for the remaining 8,600 square feet of space.
