UW Health plans clinic-hospital on Far East Side

UW Health is considering building a clinic and a hospital with a focus on orthopedics on Madison’s Far East Side, with construction to start next year, officials said Thursday. The plan on 42 acres at the American Center business park will ease crowding at UW Hospital and allow its small patient rooms to be enlarged, said Donna Katen-Bahensky, chief executive officer.
