Research, innovation & education

We're committed to supporting research that leads to new and improved ways to care for people and manage community health. Our focus is on conducting research that has proven benefits for our patients. We work with the Center for Urban Population Health, which was established in 2001 as a partnership between Aurora Health Care, the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. The Center for Urban Population Health is located in the Aurora Sinai Medical Center, in the heart of Milwaukee. Its goal is to identify what will make people healthier, and to create partnerships with community health and academic experts to put those ideas into practice.

Innovation drives us

Aurora has more than 700 clinical research projects – including more than 400 clinical trials. That means you’ll be the first to benefit from new drugs, devices and procedures.

Educating for the future

Aurora Health Care has more than 300 teaching faculty. Tens of thousands of hours of our physicians' time is devoted to education programs for health professions. Undergraduates take part in student rotations every year, across the system. Students learn patient-focused care through working in our hospitals and in community-based health projects. At the graduate level, Aurora maintains residency and fellowship programs approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. We provide more than $30 million per year for these programs. Medical students, residents and fellows work on community health projects and care for low-income and under-served patients at many community clinic sites, such as Bread of Healing Clinic, Aurora Walker’s Point Community Clinic and Aurora UW Medical Group.

We help you live well. And we’re committed to proactively help those who need it most.
