How to Refer a Patient

UW Health is dedicated to developing and maintaining strong working relationships with referring health care professionals and to making the referral process as efficient as possible.

 

Whether you would like to seek the opinion of a UW Health physician, transfer a patient to the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics or check on your patient's status, we are here to serve you.

 

We recognize the importance of the relationship that you have with your patient and seek to honor that relationship by providing the best possible care and keeping you apprised of our progress.
