Healthcare: Why it's important

When you think of healthcare images of doctors, nurses, needles, stethoscopes and medicine probably pop into your head.

In Southern Wisconsin centuries ago, doctors came to your home to provide care, now we head to doctors offices or to a hospital to get the health care we need.

In Wisconsin hospitals today there are more than just a doctor and nurse, there are specialized units such as a birthing center, cardiac rehab (or rehabilitation) diabetes health programs, hospice services, senior services, a sleep clinic, urgent care, emergency services all available for your health needs.

Once you step inside a Wisconsin hospital you will be taken care of to the best ability of the physicians and medical staff inside. It is vitally important you know your health history when you enter a hospital in Southern Wisconsin. That information will give your doctors a better starting point as they try to diagnose and treat your symptoms.

The birthing centers provide care for pregnant women and their newborn babies. The Cardiac rehab facilities help those with heart ailments and their rehabilitation after a surgery or other treatment. The diabetes health programs give those with diabetes the support and care they need to live with the disease. Hospice services provide a caring nurturing environment for those with end of life issues. Urgent care gives patients quick access to physicians for ailments that need fast attention but are not life threatening. Life threatening care needs go through the emergency room or ER doors for immediate attention. The sleep clinic helps diagnose sleep problems to give those patients a good night’s rest they need to keep their health in check. And seniors can get treatment and social services when they need it in their later years.
Southern Wisconsin hospitals have everything you need to stay healthy throughout the year and throughout your life.
