Shawano, Wis. - Aurora Health Care today revealed its plans to build a primary care center on East Green Bay Street.

The one-story, 9,112-square-foot clinic will house Gregrey Hiltgen, M.D., an Aurora family practice physician, who will offer the full spectrum of medical treatment for patients from newborns to the elderly. Laboratory and diagnostic testing will also be offered at the facility.

"We are thrilled to be able to better meet the needs of our patients with this new facility," Hiltgen said. "We see this as an important investment in the health of the Shawano-area community which has so warmly welcomed us."

Aurora first came to Shawano with the opening of its existing clinic at 503 S. Main St. in September 2005. The new clinic in Shawano is expected to open in early 2010.

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.
