Feb. 10, 2006 - Aurora Health Care today announced plans for construction of a primary care clinic at Highway 45 and Campus Drive in Clintonville.

The one-story, 4,000-square-foot clinic will house up to two primary care physicians who will provide the full spectrum of medical treatment for patients from newborns to the elderly.
The new Aurora Health Center is being built in response to the growing health care needs of the tri-county area (western Waupaca, northern Outagamie, southern Shawano), said Thomas Koehler, M.D., president of Aurora's North Region.

"The first level of care, or primary care, needs to be close to home, and that is what this new clinic will provide for the residents of Clintonville," Dr. Koehler said.

The center, which features on-site laboratory and X-ray services, will be located on the southern edge of Clintonville near Fox Valley Technical College.

Similar Aurora clinics opened last year in Pulaski, Seymour and Greenville. Aurora also is building a new clinic in Bonduel this year.

The new clinic in Clintonville is expected to open in the fall of 2006.

Aurora Health Care is a not-for-profit Wisconsin health care provider and a nationally recognized leader in efforts to improve the quality of health care. Aurora offers services at sites in more than 90 communities throughout eastern Wisconsin.
