Our Location

The 33,000 square foot state-of-the-art Heart & Vascular Hospital is located on the 10th and 11th floors of Meriter Hospital. The facility has been thoughtfully designed around the needs of patients with cardiovascular diseases, those conditions that affect the heart and the network of blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart.
           

Some of the Heart & Vascular Hospital's notable features include:

• 45 private family-friendly patient rooms, all of which are equipped to handle patient-care needs from cardiac intensive care on arrival to stable discharge to home.
• 18 short-stay beds, in private rooms, adjacent to the procedure area to allow for efficient admission and discharge for patients who do not require an overnight stay.
• 5 state-of-the-art digital cardiac, vascular and electrophysiology procedure labs, with room to grow.


• Direct elevator access to the emergency room, operating rooms, medical imaging and the helicopter landing pad.
• EPIC electronic medical record system, which minimizes the need for patients to give the same information more than once.
• State-of-the-art digital image management system, which enables physicians and others to view cardiac and other medical images on computers, both inside and outside the hospital.
• A hands-free wireless communication system that allows nurses to be notified immediately about their patients' needs in a quiet environment that essentially eliminates overhead paging.
• Sleeper sofas for family members, flat panel televisions, and spectacular views of Madison and its lakes will add to the healing environment patients and families experience.
