GREENFIELD, WI Ascension Wisconsin announced plans to open a new health center in Greenfield. The health center will provide access to primary, specialty, hospital and emergency services.

The building where it will be located, 4935 S. 76th Street, is currently the home of a Barns and Noble bookstore. According to a Milwaukee Business Journal report, the bookstore will move out during the summer of 2020 when their lease on the property expires.

The new Ascension center will then move in. The project will create 50 to 70 new jobs. Construction is expected to begin in the spring, with a tentative opening of late summer 2021.

The 32,000-square-foot health center will house a small-scale hospital with emergency services and eight inpatient beds.

Ascension officials say the new hospital will operate 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year. It will be staffed by emergency medicine physicians, experienced nurses and clinical specialists

The facility will be fully licensed, CMS-accredited and in-network with most commercial providers. Medicaid and Medicare also will be accepted. This is the second facility of its kind that will be owned and operated under Ascension Wisconsin and Emerus' joint venture

Ascension Wisconsin will establish a primary and specialty care clinic and outpatient diagnostic imaging facility within the health center. Cardiology and electrophysiology will be provided to complement primary care services and the imaging center will include MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography and x-ray services.
