VIROQUA, Wis. — Vernon Health is expanding access to specialty care with the addition of Anila Rafiq, DPM, the organization’s first podiatrist.

Dr. Rafiq brings comprehensive foot and ankle care to Vernon Health, allowing patients throughout the region to receive more of the care they need locally.

“Adding podiatry is another important step in expanding access to specialty services for our community,” said David Hartberg, CEO and administrator of Vernon Health. “We continue to listen to the needs of our patients and invest in services that make high-quality care more accessible, convenient and connected to the community we serve.”

Dr. Rafiq provides care for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including heel pain and plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, diabetic foot concerns, wounds, and other common and complex conditions. Her clinical interests include wound care and limb salvage, as well as minimally invasive surgical approaches when appropriate.

She is board-certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and board-qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
