Previous patients and families have told us that it would be helpful to receive information about Oconomowoc and the surrounding areas at the beginning of treatment. As a result, the Foundation created this resource guide to enrich your time in the area, whether it’s for a daily visit or monthly stay. Included is a map that highlights select southeastern Wisconsin communities along with “favorite picks” gathered from your treatment teams at Rogers. You’ll find the following categories: Restaurants | Activities & Attractions | Accommodations Salons & Spas | Shopping By no means is this an exhaustive list! Additional links to community websites, tourism guides, local newspapers, area attractions, and event listings can be found in the family resources area on the Foundation’s website: rogersbhfoundation.org/saving-lives. Here, you will also find an online form where you can offer helpful tips that will improve the experience for others. We hope you are able to find enjoyment in the natural beauty and local offerings this area provides!
