Meriter Hospital Inc, doing business as UnityPoint Health - Meriter,[3][4] is a non-profit hospital campus in Madison, Wisconsin, United States that is owned by UnityPoint Health. The medical facility is a tertiary, psychiatric hospital and teaching hospital that has multiple specialties.[1]

History

Madison General Hospital was founded in 1898.[citation needed] The hospital merged with Madison Methodist Hospital in 1987, creating Meriter Health Services.[citation needed]

On October 10, 2013, the board of Meriter Health System agreed to merge with UnityPoint Health.[5][6][7] In early January 2014, Meriter Hospital became part of UnityPoint Health[8] and two years later it was rebranded to UnityPoint Health - Meriter.[9] On April 11, 2017, the Federal Trade Commission approved a joint venture between UnityPoint Health - Meriter and UW Health.[10][11] On July 11, they expanded their partnership by treating patients together.[12][13][14]

On May 27, 2025, at about 6:30 a.m. 950 nurses at UnityPoint Health - Meriter went on strike for better safety, more money, and for more nurses. This is the first nurses strike in the history of the medical facility.[15][16][17] On June 1, they returned to work after the Services Employee International Union Wisconsin had signed a new two-year contract with the hospital to increase their pay by ten percent and to purchase a metal detector.[18][19] [20] On October 17, firefighters responded to a 911 call from the hospital at 8:09 p.m.; they found smoke in a mechanical room on the fifth floor and put out a fire on the roof.[21][22][23]

Facilities

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 classes at the hospital's McConnel Hall.[24]

Physicians Plus, a regional health insurer, is owned by Meriter.[25]
