Wheaton plans to build outpatient clinic at St. Francis

Glendale-based Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare plans to build a four-story, 81,650-square-foot outpatient clinic at 3260 S. 18th St., at the St. Francis Hospital campus on the south side of Milwaukee.

Wheaton Franciscan demolished an administration building on the hospital campus to make way for the new clinic. The administration building had “become functionally obsolete,” Wheaton Franciscan said in documents filed with the city.

The clinic will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. About 60 people will work in the clinic.

The clinic will have physician offices, a sleep lab, a physical therapy department and laboratory services.

The third floor of the building will have shelled space for future expansion of physician offices.
