Meriter Hospital

Meriter Hospital is a nonprofit hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. It is operated by UnityPoint Health.

It is a teaching hospital of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and has 448 beds. The hospital, the fifth largest in the state, serves southern portions of Wisconsin and also areas in northwest Illinois.[1]

On Wednesday October 9, 2013, the board of Meriter Health Services voted to join UnityPoint Health. The Meriter hospital will have a governing board that allows it to retain some autonomy.[2]
