Aurora Medical Center – Mount Pleasant opened to patients this month, expanding access to care in Racine County, Wisconsin. The new campus includes a medical office building and hospital with an emergency department, intensive care unit and operating rooms.  

Aurora Medical Center – Mount Pleasant includes a 198,000-square-foot hospital with 60 patient beds, 12 ICU beds, five operating rooms and an emergency department. The 98,000-square-foot medical office building houses 24 specialty providers, including orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, sports medicine and rehab services. 

Aligned to its Safe Care Promise, the medical center includes digital innovations, such as clinic self-rooming technology that allows patients to bypass the waiting room. Patients are assigned to a private exam room and wait there until their doctor is ready to see them, decreasing exposure to illness and increasing privacy. 

The facility was designed and built in the interest of sustainability and environmental stewardship and will seek a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. This is in keeping with Advocate Aurora’s commitment to power its health care operations with 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030.
