In addition to the hospital campus, locals have access to an office of the Aurora Medical Group and a walk-in clinic at the Aurora Health Center in West Allis.

Protecting the Public’s Health

The West Allis Health Department serves to protect and promote the health of West Allis citizens. Established in 1906, the Health Department improves the health status of its citizens through services focused on prevention, communitywide education and assuring a healthy living environment. The Department protects the community from communicable disease outbreaks and environmental hazards and provides dental health services, health education programs and preventative health services. The Health Department is located at 7120 W. National Ave. and is open from 8 am-5 pm, Monday-Friday.

The West Allis Senior Center is also part of the Health Department. This Center promotes a healthy quality of life where aging is viewed as natural, positive and purposeful, and provides services that focus on the recreational, social and personal needs of elderly residents. The Senior Center offers more than 30 classes each week, interesting tours each month and many other special events and guest speakers. The Center is one of the designated Milwaukee County senior meal sites and boasts a well-equipped computer center for member’s use. The Center is located at 7001 W.

In addition to health and senior services, the West Allis Health Department oversees the operations of the West Allis Farmers’ Market. This Market is one of the oldest established farmers’ markets in Wisconsin and has operated continuously for the past 80 years at 6501 W. National Ave. in the heart of the Six Points redevelopment area. It’s also considered a “green” market because all products must be grown or produced locally. The Farmers’ Market is open every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from May through November.
