PROJECT SIGNIFICANCE: SSM Health, J.H. Findorff & Son and Kahler Slater broke ground on a new outpatient center in Sun Prairie, which officials said will meet the needs of the growing Madison metropolitan area.

“Sun Prairie is a thriving city that attracts people from a number of surrounding communities. We are invested in growing with it,” said Sue Anderson, regional president SSM Health in Wisconsin. “This new outpatient center will alleviate some of the growing constraints we face at our SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Madison campus and allow us to open access for more timely care when and where our patients need it,” she added.

The outpatient center will expand access to surgical and eye care services, officials said. Milwaukee-based Kahler Slater will lead sustainable and environmentally focused features while honoring the legacy of the site, officials added.
