Our patients want to go home, and, quite simply,

that’s our number one goal.

Our focus is on creating a comfortable environment,

so you can go home sooner.

State-of-the-art services and peace of mind.

Over the next fi ve years, Meriter will transform

almost every patient room and care area

throughout the hospital. Private rooms and

more family spaces mixed with high-tech

diagnostics and treatment will provide patients

with added comfort while increasing

the effi ciency of our staff.

Douglas Nelson, chairMeriter Foundation Board of Directors

Fran Petonic, presidentMeriter Foundation

At Meriter Hospital, these are the caring qualities we want each patient to experience, every day.

A familiar face, a comforting hand,

just knowing someone cares…

That’s the average time from a patient’s arrival in the emergency room to

balloon angioplasty.

64 MINUTES.

Meriter’s Heart Hospital has a streamlined network of nurses,

ER doctors, cardiologists, diagnostic

imaging technicians, and cardiovascular

surgeons working together to provide

life-saving care. Our staff has a

genuine concern for the well-being

of our patients and their loved ones,

providing frequent updates to

family members during the course

of treatment and recovery.

In its fi rst year, the total number of patient visits to the new Heart Hospital was 31,557.

Each patient received care in a private

room with access to advanced

diagnostic and treatment services.

It’s high-tech cardiaccare, close to home.

Clarence, or “Red” as he is known, has severe heart disease. “They gave him great care and attention while he was a patient. We also appreciate the care the family received.”

Red, a former farmer and truck driver who loves nature and a good joke, underwent bypass surgery, a stint, and fi nally a defi brillator pacemaker.

Melanie recalls, “While these procedures took a toll on him and the family, the staff really worked to keep our spirits up and keep us informed. They laughed and joked and understood us.”

“Thanks Meriter for not only sending him back home to us ... but sending him down the road to recovery. He misses you guys!”

Highly-trained nurses and physicians help calm your fears. It’s what you

should expect.

QUIET, COMFORTABLE CARE.

Meriter’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit provides a peaceful environment

for when things don’t go as planned.

The birth of a child should be full

of joy, but when infants are born

too soon with life-threatening

complications, the anticipation can

quickly become anxious worry.

That anxiety is lessened with private

rooms for families and their newborns

to bond, a quiet area for infants to

heal and grow, and the most advanced

medical technology available.

Since opening in May 2007, more than 400 infants and their families

have experienced this new level of quiet, comfortable family care.

A leader in birthingservices, right inyour backyard.

felt like my babies were in the care of family members,” Tammy recalled about her experience at Meriter. “My water broke when our twins were just 33 weeks. We were sent to Meriter in an ambulance. There, we were greeted at the ER. Everyone made us feel right at home.”

Both babies needed the NICU. Tammy remembers being set at ease, even during such a diffi cult time. “At fi rst it was really hard to see the kids in the isolettes and not be able to hold them. The staff was so good to us. Their calming presence really helped us,” Tammy said. “The private rooms and being able to stay over night with them made it easy to bond with the babies even though we couldn’t be there all the time.

“Our twins are happy and healthy babies. We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning.”
