Dear Editor:
I would like to applaud the decision of the University of Wisconsin Hospital, the University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation and Meriter Hospital to utilize the Madison Surgery Center for second trimester elective abortions. These are legal procedures, and with the retirement of Dr. Dennis Christiansen there was an apparent gap in the provision of women’s reproductive health care needs in Dane County and the surrounding area. That these physicians and institutions have stepped up to the plate and offered to provide such care is worthy of accolade.
