Best care: Infants to teens, simple to complex

At Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, all we do is care for kids. We provide the safest, best care for infants, children and teens, no matter how simple or complex the illness or injury. We are the region’s only independent health care system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of children. Our hospital, with locations in Milwaukee and Neenah, Wis., is recognized as one of the leading pediatric health care centers in the United States.

Parents magazine ranked Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin #4 in the nation in its 2013 Best Children’s Hospitals survey. This is the third survey in a row where we’ve been in the top 10.

Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin provides primary care, specialty care, urgent care, emergency care, community health services, foster and adoption services, child and family counseling, child advocacy services and family resource centers.

We achieves our mission in part through donations from individuals, corporations and foundations and is proud to be a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
