Company History

Aurora Health Care was created around a single idea: There is a better way to provide health care. From the beginning, that has been a hallmark of our organization, and today it remains central to our vision.

Aurora's integration as a not-for-profit system began in 1984 with the affiliation of 2 Milwaukee hospitals, St. Luke's Medical Center and Good Samaritan Medical Center. Good Samaritan Medical Center had been formed in 1980 with the merger of Lutheran Hospital, founded as Milwaukee Hospital in 1863, and Deaconess Hospital, founded in 1910.

In 1984, St. Luke's Medical Center, founded in 1903, and Good Samaritan formed an affiliation to improve the delivery of care and contain the costs of doing business. Their affiliation gave birth to St. Luke's Samaritan Health Care, the first health care system in Milwaukee to be created through the affiliation of 2 formerly independent hospitals.

St. Luke's Samaritan Health Care adopted the name Aurora Health Care in 1987 after a merger between Mount Sinai Medical Center, founded in 1903, and Good Samaritan Medical Center. Located several blocks apart, the facilities had both suffered occupancy declines as primary care practitioners left the central city. Their boards of directors cited as the goal of the merger preservation of the hospitals' strong traditions of excellence in patient care, commitment to medical education and dedication to community service.

Today, the organizations that form Aurora Health Care remain dedicated to promoting health, preventing illness and providing state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment whenever and wherever we can best meet people's individual and family needs. Working together, the people of Aurora are determined not only to provide services of the highest quality, but also to make those services affordable and accessible to every person in every community we serve.
