The rich history of Ascension Wisconsin began in 1848, when the Sisters of Charity opened an infirmary in Milwaukee to care for our community's sickest members. It would later become the first private hospital in the state. Since then, Ascension Wisconsin has enhanced that mission with today's latest technology to provide innovative advanced care for the most complicated conditions and create opportunities for you and your family to conveniently find care with 1,000+ providers at over 165 locations in Milwaukee, Racine, Appleton and Fox Valley.
