2/2/23 SSM Health Waupun Eye Care Services Taking Shape
2 February 2023 News
Construction is on schedule for a new 5,400-square-foot area on the lower level of SSM Health Waupun Memorial Hospital’s recent two-story addition to welcome eye care services starting in late March 2023.
The $4.2 million project will offer the services of an ophthalmologist, two optometrists, and five eye care assistants using advanced diagnostic capabilities. In addition, the services of a retina specialist and pediatric ophthalmologist will be available. Patients will have the convenience of receiving eye surgical procedures, like cataract surgery, within the hospital thanks to its direct connection.
At this time, all drywall is complete with painting underway along with cabinet installations. Ceiling tiles, as well as flooring installs, are slated to begin soon. In mid-February, retail eye displays will be put in place in the space’s optical shop. Equipment installs are also underway.
The new area will feature eight exam rooms, laser/procedure room, optical coherence tomography scan (OCT) room, three provider offices, and contact lens room. Patients will enjoy a direct entrance and newly created and easily accessible parking just off Main and Beaver Dam streets.
The new area will also feature an optical shop offering a wide selection of frames at competitive prices and customer service from our caring team members who bring extensive optical experience. Staff will work with customers to find options, including discounts, if the optical shop is not considered in-network. Frames will be accessible for all ages, including infants.
The SSM Health Greater Fond du Lac Region is working with CD Smith Construction as the project’s general contractor, with Zimmerman Architectural Studios, Inc. serving as architect.
