Meriter Hospital is adding clinics north and southeast of Madison and doubling its doctor group so the hospital can be more independent from UW Health, stay financially healthy and put services closer to patients, officials say. The moves, which mark a shift in strategy from a prior plan to greatly expand Meriter?s Park Street headquarters, are not welcomed by UW Health. “We find it unfortunate and think it not in the community?s best interest,” said Dr. Jeff Grossman, head of UW Health?s doctor group.
