The caregivers of Aurora Sinai Medical Center could not provide the
individualized care, quality and life-saving resources offered, without
generous support from members of the community like you. Through your
generosity and support, we are better able to meet the needs of patients
and their families.
Your gifts and other forms of support, in any size, are always in
need, and always appreciated. Together we can transform the health care
experience in Milwaukee and beyond.
Aurora Sinai serves Milwaukee's diverse downtown population, and the
region, as a full-service medical center specializing in healthy
aging/geriatrics, women's health, cardiology, orthopedics, Parkinson
Disease and bariatric surgery. We are committed to improving health
outcomes with advanced thinking, technology and patient-centered care in
all that we do.
As a 200 bed hospital that serves a broad spectrum of social and
economic backgrounds, our annual hospital discharges total around
13,000. The total number of outpatient visits and procedures totals
approximately 275,000 annually.
Aurora Sinai also shares in a rich history with the University of
Wisconsin Medical School as home to faculty physicians and midwives who
are teaching new generations of care providers through clinical
settings, research and hospital programs.
Friends of Aurora Sinai Medical Center
Friends of Aurora Sinai Medical Center support the hospital, its
patients, families and caregivers through annual gifts at the
following levels:
It all began with a leap of faith. Aurora Sinai Medical Center as it
is today, dates back to 1863, with the founding of Milwaukee Hospital by
William Passavant. A minister originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Passavant
was dedicated to creating a hospital for the people of Milwaukee,
including the city's sick and impoverished.
The seed that he planted became Milwaukee Hospital (also Milwaukee
Lutheran), establishing a legacy of health care in our city. Soon, this
legacy grew to include neighboring hospitals -- Mount Sinai Hospital
(est. 1903) and Evangelical Deaconess Hospital (est. 1910). Throughout
the century, the roots of these hospitals grew stronger, and
eventually the branches they spawned were woven together, creating what
is now downtown Milwaukee's Aurora Sinai Medical Center.
When you decide to give at leadership levels, you, too, are
demonstrating William Passavant's faith, vision and legacy by allowing
us to continue serving the community as we find better ways to meet the
needs of our patients and families.
