Aurora Health Care will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at noon on Thursday, May 17, to celebrate the beginning of construction for the new Aurora Medical Center in the Pabst Farms development.
The $189 million hospital will have 110 patient rooms and will be built at the southeast corner of Interstate 94 and Highway 67 in the Town of Summit, near Oconomowoc.
It took Aurora several years to win a legal battle to build the hospital, as opponents said the new hospital was not needed and would drive up already-high health care costs in the ara.

The Aurora hospital will anchor the health care and wellness campus portion of Pabst Farms. The hospital is expected to open during the summer of 2009.
