Construction plans underway for new Aurora Health Center in Manitowoc

Manitowoc, Wis. – Aurora Health Care will construct a new 18,000 square foot Aurora Health Center located on Dewey Street on the south side of Manitowoc. The new facility is scheduled to open in the summer of 2018.

“As our patient volumes in Manitowoc continue to grow, developing additional access to our programs and services remains a key focus for us,” said Christine Larson, BSN, RN, senior director administrator, Aurora Health Care Medical Group in Manitowoc County.  “This project aligns with our vision of providing Manitowoc County with the resources we need to live well.”

The new Aurora Health Center will house several departments including urgent care, an occupational health clinic, retail pharmacy, and lab/X-ray services. There will also be an employer sponsored clinic through Aurora BayCare Employer Services.

The new facility will serve as a replacement clinic for the current Aurora Health Center located on Reed Avenue. “As we move forward in this process, renovations will also take place at the medical office building at the Aurora Health Center in Two Rivers to ensure we are adhering to the highest standards at all of our locations in Manitowoc County,” added Larson.

“We looked at a number of different options for the current Aurora Health Center on Reed Avenue,” explained Larson. “After evaluating all options from remodeling to replacement, we determined that it was in Aurora’s and the community’s best interest to build a replacement clinic. The services from the Reed Avenue location will transition to the new location with the exception of internal medicine services which will transition to existing Aurora locations within Manitowoc County.”
