Advocate Aurora Health's plan to build a $228 million hospital and medical center in Mount Pleasant, Wis., has advanced after a village planning commission approved the proposal, according to The Journal Times.
The project includes building a 198,000-square-foot medical center with an emergency department and 98,000-square-foot medical office building.
The medical center would have 60 surgical and intensive care beds, four observation beds and five operating rooms. The medical office would house outpatient services.
Construction is expected to begin in late summer or early fall. The hospital aims to open the new buildings to patients in 2022.
Advocate Aurora Health was formed in April 2018 by the merger of Downers Grove, Ill.-based Advocate Health Care and Milwaukee-based Aurora Healthcare.
