The Hospital and Clinic

SSM Health of Wisconsin built a new full service medical campus in Janesville which opened in January 2012. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 90 and State Highway11. The medical campus is a state of the art facility and includes the 50-bed St. Mary's Janesville Hospital and the connected SSM Health Dean Medical Group physician offices and medical complex.  The surgeons enjoy the convenience of practicing in a beautiful new facility in which physician offices are just a brief stroll to the operating rooms.  The hospital provides health care services from Urgent Care to ICU, and a recently added on site radiation oncology facility.  It also benefits from being part of the greater SSM System, with the sister hospital, St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison, just 35 miles north of Janesville. Additionally, the SSM system includes a fully integrated health plan and 24 hospitals in total across WI, IL, MO, and OK.  Electronic medical records are also seamlessly connected throughout the entire system via Epic.

The Community

A mid-sized city of 60,000 people, Janesville residents enjoy their beautiful, safe, family-oriented community for its excellent schools and abundant recreational opportunities.  Residents enjoy a plentiful array of outdoor activities from golfing, boating, sailing, waterskiing, hiking/biking miles of scenic trails, to snowmobiling and cross country skiing.

Janesville is fortunate to have a very dedicated, innovative, and engaged business community and an unusually extensive and robust infrastructure for a city of its size.  This combination has blessed Janesville with a resilient economy and a dedicated population.  Add to this a rich history and  more than 2,500 acres of beautiful parks & bike trails, and you can see why Janesville earns its  name as “Wisconsin’s Park Place.”
