An incredible fantasy land has sprung up from the farm fields of south-central Wisconsin. If you’ve driven west of Madison, you may have gotten a glimpse of a wonderland of castles and wizards that looks a little like a theme park. It’s actually a privately-held health care software company called Epic Systems. We actually call it “Wisconsin Hogwarts.” Here’s what makes the company’s campus incredible and why it needs to be seen to be believed.

Madison is one of the state’s fastest-growing areas, and Epic Systems can take a big share of the credit.

The company is enormous, and you may have encountered its products. In 2022, hospitals that use its software held medical records of 78 percent of patients in the United States.
The company employs 10,000 people, and it has offices all over the world.

But its unusual headquarters is in Verona, a city with 13,000 people that’s just west of Madison.
Epic Systems recruits and attracts top talent from all over the country.

It draws young workers who are as creative as they are intelligent. Some have never been in Wisconsin, let alone set foot in a rural area of Wisconsin. For them, a wonderland awaits.
