Aspectos Destacados del Establecimiento
Un hospital de niños con muchas comodidades
En el Hospital de Niños American Family las familias reciben lo mejor de los dos mundos. Su hijo(a) es nuestro enfoque principal, pero también vigilamos de cerca a las mamás, papás, hermanos, hermanas y abuelos. Nuestras raíces se remontan a 1920. Esto representa un siglo de expertos entregando los últimos avances en medicina pediátrica a su hijo(a). Muchos de estos avances fueron desarrollados aquí mismo, en el campus de la Universidad de Wisconsin, e incluyen nuevos tratamientos para el cáncer en niños, fibrosis quística y asma.
Aspectos destacados incluyen:
Treating your child like our own
Many of our patient families are pleasantly surprised by the warm, family-friendly feel of our children’s hospital. Parents often say, “They answer every question no matter how many times I ask,” or “They really listen and involve parents in the decisions.”
For more information about your stay or visit, please consult our Patient and Family Visitor Guide.
World-class care + down-home friendliness
Bringing a child to the hospital can be scary. Once you arrive, however, it won’t be long before you know that your child is in the right place. Here, it’s not only about extraordinary care you’d expect from a leading children’s hospital, but the personal touches that make our family part of your family.
Many families tell us that they never felt treated like a number. We take great pride in that compliment.
For more information about your stay or visit, please consult our Patient and Family Visitor Guide.
More fun and less fear
Child Life Specialists are specially trained to make your child’s time in the hospital less scary and a lot more fun than she or he might imagine. Families often remember the name of the Child Life Specialist who found just the perfect video game, craft, art project or movie that put an unforgettable smile on their child’s face. We have 18 Child Life Specialists on staff, and they are ready to make your child’s stay special.

Pioneers in the fight against childhood cancer
For more than 50 years, the UW Health Kids cancer care team has been at the forefront of developing newer, more effective treatments that save more lives.
