Aurora is a not for
profit organization.
Aurora Health Care is designated a not-for-profit organization because we
provide health care to the public which the federal government considers an
“essential community service”. We re-invest all of our net income in the
communities we serve, rather than distributing it to individual owners or
shareholders.
Aurora is the largest not-for-profit employer in the state of Wisconsin
with over 25,000 employees serving patients in 90 communities.
We are passionate about providing our patients with the best care and
are fully committed to
Our #1 Priority; giving people better results than they can get anywhere
else.
Aurora provides more than $26 million each year in community outreach
and free preventive services.
Aurora is a national leader in developing a comprehensive computerized
patient record system and has won awards for being ‘The
Most Wired' several years in a row.
We care about not only the health of individuals but also the health
status of the population as a whole, using our
Care Management
initiatives. Care Management is a focused, coordinated approach to
delivering care across a broad range of service locations, by many different
providers of care, at many different points in time. In 1995 we started a
project to ensure that people with asthma were being educated about the
disease and being given the best treatment. That was the beginning of Care
Management at Aurora, and we've been going strong ever since.
Aurora is a national leader in efforts to improve the quality of health
care. The Premier Healthcare Alliance, a national alliance of 1,700
not-for-profit hospitals and health systems, recognized Aurora with eight
2007 Premier Awards for Quality for excellence in the care of patients.
Aurora's eight awards are the most one health system has ever achieved in
one year.
The Clinical
Research department at Aurora Health Care offers a variety of clinical
research studies including primary care, specialty, and sub-specialty areas.
Aurora Health Care's Metro
Region residency programs, in partnership with the University of
Wisconsin Medical School, are located at Milwaukee-based Aurora Sinai
Medical Center and Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center operating 10 community
clinics in the Milwaukee area.
