Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Marks Completion for New SSM Health Outpatient Center in Verona
September 15, 2026Congratulations to SSM Health and project partners on the completion of the SSM Health Outpatient Center in Verona. The milestone was recently celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony, officially dedicating the facility and marking the beginning of a new chapter in community healthcare. Now open to patients, the new 40,000-square-foot ambulatory care center is designed around an integrated care team model that promotes efficiency, convenience, and high-quality care, expanding access to comprehensive healthcare services for Verona’s growing community.
The successful completion of this project reflects the collaboration and dedication of the entire project team, including JP Cullen, IMEG, and GRAEF, in bringing this vision to life.
The outpatient center offers a wide range of services including primary care, eye care, orthopedics, women’s health, dermatology, nutrition, diabetes education, lab, imaging, and an optical retail space.
The design of the new outpatient center prioritizes sustainability and wellness, targeting WELL Building certification through energy-efficient systems, enhanced building performance, and biophilic design strategies.
“The design for the center was guided by empathy, innovation, and collaboration. In honoring SSM Health’s deep commitment to wellness, sustainability and energy-efficiency, we envisioned a restorative environment where every element, from daylight and acoustics to workflow and safety, will support healing and human connection.”Melinda Pogwizd, AIA, WELL AP
“SSM Health is proud to be opening a beautiful, sustainable, energy-efficient and health-affirming environment in Verona where everyone we are privileged to serve will have convenient access to the timely healthcare they need.”Dr. Amy Franta, Chief Clinical Officer for SSM Health Wisconsin.
