Burlington – Aurora Health Care will soon open the doors to its new Aurora Health Center Southern Lakes, offering a wide variety of medical services to area residents, who can tour the new health center prior to the official opening of the 142,000+ square foot facility.
The Aurora Health Center Southern Lakes will officially open to the public on Monday, October 17, but will host a special community open house on Saturday, October 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., allowing local residents an opportunity to tour the facility, meet local physicians, and obtain autographs from several former Green Bay football players.
A key feature of the new Southern Lakes facility is the same-day surgery center, which includes five operating rooms and six procedure rooms, where onsite surgeries will include general surgery, orthopedics, eye, urology, pain management, and gastroenterology procedures.
Aurora Cancer Care and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic will also offer expanded care at the facility, including the area’s only 3D mammogram imaging center, as well as a breast health cancer navigator, a more personalized approach to care.
The enhanced oncology offering will feature 23 infusion bays for chemotherapy treatment, two private infusion rooms and 10 oncology-focused exam rooms.
“Aurora Health Center Southern Lakes will bring more health care options to residents throughout the area,” said Lisa Just, president of Aurora Health Care’s western Racine and Walworth counties. “Expanded medical oncology services are a much needed service and are a feature at our new facility. We’re also thrilled to be able to provide more same-day surgery options to patients than ever before. This new facility has been in the works for several years, and it’s extremely rewarding to see this day finally arrive.”
The oncology area will also feature a healing garden, offering a tranquil environment for patients and families going through cancer treatments as well as integrative medicine such as aromatherapy, massage, and Reiki to provide a truly healing environment
The facility will also provide pain management services and urology services, including two procedures to test for conditions like bladder and kidney cancers, along with incontinence.
Other services offered at the clinic will include orthopedics, podiatry, audiology and ear, neck and throat specialists, as well as onsite laboratory, general imaging, and pharmacy services.
The facility, located at 709 Spring Valley Road in Burlington is designed by HGA, and The Boldt Company has served as the general contractor.
