The hospital received 6,000 patient transfers needing an advanced level of care in 2011, a 27 percent increase from 2010, according to the release.
The hospital proposed to build the new 480,000-square-foot facility immediately west of Froedtert & The Medical College Clinical Cancer Center. The building will include Froedtert & The Medical College Heart and Vascular Center and Froedtert & The Medical College Transplant Center.
If Froedtert receives approval, it would begin construction before the end of the year and would plan to complete the project in 2014.
