MILWAUKEE May 13, 2024 – Today, the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) health network announced the Lafayette Clinic is scheduled to open by winter of 2025, pending approval from the City of Milwaukee. The new clinic would expand primary care and obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) care access for those on Milwaukee’s East Side.
Located at 2071 N. Summit Ave., the 11,000-square-foot facility will feature 13 exam rooms and on-site laboratory. This new clinic furthers the Froedtert & MCW health network’s mission to increase access to academic medicine for more people.
