Meriter Hospital, the primary hospital at which Wisconsin Heart & Vascular Institute cardiologists practice, is featured in an advertisement in US News & World Report’s July 2009 issue, “
“Meriter
is dedicated to making our cardiac unit among the best in the country,”
said Linda Wonoski, Nurse Manager of the Meriter Heart Hospital. “We are
pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac
care.”
To receive the Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-CAD Gold Performance Achievement Award, Meriter consistently followed the American Heart Association’s recommended treatment guidelines for coronary patients for 24 consecutive months. The Gold CAD award joins another GWTG designation Meriter holds – Bronze recognition for stroke treatment.
New location
We are pleased to announce that we have relocated our Madison clinic to the Arbor Gate development at 2601 West Beltline Highway. The new location is easily accessible from the central Beltline at the Todd Drive exit.
Important note: in the Madison area, emergency services for our patients are provided at the Meriter Hospital emergency room, which includes the area's only accredited Chest Pain Center. If you have a heart or vascular emergency in Madison during or after normal clinic hours, call 911 and go directly to Meriter Hospital.
Our group began in 2001 with eight cardiologists practicing in space on the Meriter Hospital Campus and has grown to include 12 cardiologists, two vascular surgeons and four mid-level providers, requiring additional space.
The Arbor Gate site has allowed us to relocate our clinical and administrative operations to better serve our patients and continue providing the latest in cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment. All of the regular cardiovascular exams and tests provided at our previous location are now performed at the new clinic. We will continue to serve patients as we do now in Madison and at 11 locations throughout south-central Wisconsin, allowing people to receive cardiovascular care close to where they live. When hospital-based care is required we will continue to care for patients at their local community hospitals. For advanced care not available in the region, or for people who live in or near Madison and require hospital care, our physicians will provide services at the Meriter Heart Hospital.
