Heart Services

From Stanley to Wittenberg and Eagle River to Waupaca, Ministry Health Care has been working together with Marshfield Clinic to provide the best heart care in the area for longer than any other program. It's a system that delivers integrated primary and specialty care, including a number of hospitals and rehab programs so patients can choose locations convenient to them. In addition, patients can access specialized care, such as one of the few pediatric cardiology programs in the state, without leaving the system. Digital records and communication enable team members to stay informed of the progress of patient care.

You may need to consult with a heart care specialist for one of several reasons:

• Your regular doctor may detect a heart problem or determine you are at risk.
• A visit to a walk-in clinic or emergency room may lead to a diagnosis of a heart condition.
• The results of attending a screening or having a test performed could indicate the need for specialized care.
• Call 1-800-888-4755 to schedule a visit for yourself for any reason, including obtaining a second opinion.

If you have a primary care physician, you should start by discussing your condition and your options with him or her. Their knowledge and opinions will help you make an informed choice. If your doctor is part of another health care organization, it is important to realize that the ultimate choice is always yours. You can choose the Marshfield Clinic and Ministry Health Care heart care team for all your advanced heart care, or simply schedule a visit for a second, independent opinion.
