Aurora Health Care

What Aurora Health Care does

Aurora Health Care is a nonprofit integrated healthcare delivery system headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, operating 18 hospitals, more than 150 outpatient clinics, and 70 in-house pharmacies across 30 communities in eastern Wisconsin, with additional presence in Illinois. The organization provides the full continuum of care — primary care, specialty services (cancer, cardiovascular, orthopedics, women's health, gastroenterology, neuroscience, pediatrics), emergency and urgent care, behavioral health, home care, and hospice — to individuals, families, and employer groups. Its core digital platform is the LiveWell patient portal and mobile application, which aggregates health records, appointment scheduling, provider messaging, bill pay, and a 24/7 telehealth suite including synchronous video visits and asynchronous e-visits; the system also operates ACL Laboratories for diagnostics, Aurora Research Institute for clinical trials, and Aurora Health at Home for home-based care.

Following its merger with Advocate Health, Aurora now operates as part of one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the United States, with expanded access to shared specialty expertise, research infrastructure, and back-office scale. Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a nonprofit provider: clinical service fees from payers and patients, pharmacy revenue across 70 locations, employer-sponsored occupational health and wellness contracts, and philanthropy via the Advocate Aurora Foundation. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients are directed to the LiveWell app or contact centers for billing inquiries. Strategic priorities visible in the data include scaling virtual primary care, deploying autonomous drone logistics for prescriptions and lab specimens through a partnership with Zipline, and extending academic clinical training pipelines through partnerships such as the Marquette University dental residency program.
