Construction work is on schedule at the UW Health Eastpark Medical Center, with a plan to begin seeing patients on Oct. 28, according to a recent press release. More than two dozen specialties will open their doors to patients in three phases, with most areas operational by mid-November.
Eastpark Medical Center is across from East Madison Hospital. It will be a 470,000-square-foot, seven-story facility housing a variety of outpatient care programs including oncology and integrated specialty care for women. Proton therapy to treat cancer is expected to begin in late 2025.
The medical center will allow people to see multiple providers during a single visit rather than making multiple return visits for individual appointments, according to Dr. Peter Newcomer, chief operating officer of UW Health.
It’s estimated Eastpark will be home to more than 540 clinical staff and nearly 300 nonclinical staff, and UW Health is currently hiring for approximately 130 new jobs at the Eastpark location.
Patients who have providers and clinics moving to Eastpark Medical Center will be notified when they schedule future appointments.
