Diagnosis: Outdated – Nationwide, hospitals are expanding, renovating

Hospitals across south-central Wisconsin are expanding like never before, thanks to improved technology and greater patient demand. In fact, some experts say it’s a trend that will impact disease diagnosis and health-care economics for years to come.

Nearly a dozen hospitals in cities like Watertown, Baraboo and Reedsburg have taken on extensive expansion or renovation projects and added the latest diagnostic tools like MRI machines and CT scanners.

In Madison, all three major hospitals – St. Mary’s, UW Hospital and Meriter – are remodeling and reconfiguring their space.
