Healthcare

Mequon-Thiensville families can take comfort in knowing that there is a full-service regional hospital close at hand. Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Ozaukee is conveniently located on North Port Washington Road in Mequon.

Built in 1994, the hospital’s architecture is well-suited to the community, resembling a huge country villa featuring sloping rooflines and reflecting ponds in front. With 159 beds and nearly 800 physicians on staff, the hospital is a state-of-the-art facility well-equipped to serve the future needs of Ozaukee County residents and surrounding communities for years to come.

All patient rooms are private, and within the new tower they are larger than the typical patient room. The rooms all look onto the natural wetlands surrounding the hospital to ensure a tranquil healing environment for patients. The rooms on the first floor are acuity-adaptable, whereby the technology can be changed to enable the patient to remain in the same room from post-operative care to discharge.

Among the hospital’s services are cardiovascular surgery, an accredited chest pain center, radiation oncology, orthopaedics, an accredited stroke center, neurology, surgical services, rehabilitation, medical imaging, family medical clinics, behavioral medicine, testing and treatment services, pulmonary medicine, a sleep center, a wound healing center, occupational health, and women’s health including digital mammography.

The hospital’s 24-hour emergency department is staffed by physicians and nurses trained in emergency medicine. Through Columbia St. Mary’s two hospitals in Milwaukee, other services are available including a Spine Center, the Bariatric Center, the Regional Burn Center, Robotic Surgery, the Chiari Institute and the Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Institute. Columbia St. Mary’s is affiliated with the Columbia College of Nursing and has a partnership with the Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin.

The health system has as its mission to make a positive difference in the health status and lives of individuals and the community, with special attention to those who are vulnerable. In addition to its recent expansion at the Mequon facility, Columbia St. Mary’s is building a state-of-the-art replacement hospital on Milwaukee’s east side overlooking Lake Michigan. The new hospital will open in 2010.

With more than 54 medical clinics, Columbia St. Mary’s Community Physicians and Madison Medical Affiliates are uniquely positioned to provide primary and specialty care services throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Services include family practice, pediatrics, OB/GYN and internal medicine as well as specialized services such as gastroenterology, endocrinology, surgery, allergy and immunology to care for the entire family.
