UnityPoint Meriter Hospital (Formerly Meriter Hospital) is a nonprofit hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, United States, that is operated by UnityPoint Health. It was founded in 1927 as Madison General Hospital, and later merged with Madison Methodist Hospital in 1987. As a result of the merger, Meriter Health Services was formed and later merged with UnityPoint Health to form the current health care provider.[1]
The hospital has 448 beds, the fifth largest in the state, and primarily serves southern Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois. It also participates as a teaching hospital for the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[2]
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.[3]
Joint Operating Agreement
The joint operating agreement (JOA) between UnityPoint Health – Meriter and UW Health formalized and expanded their collaboration in care for patients.
The Madison Japanese Language School (マディソン日本語補習校 Madison Nihongo Hoshūkō), a Japanese weekend supplementary school, holds its classes at McConnel Hall of the hospital.[4]
Physicians Plus, a regional health insurer, is owned by Meriter.[5]
