Descripción
Bienvenidos al Hospital de Niños American Family, donde se tratará a su hijo(a) como si fuera uno de nuestros propios hijos. Ofrecemos la atención médica más avanzada en un establecimiento moderno y adecuado para las familias que cuenta con instalaciones acogedoras. Queremos que regrese a casa con un niño más sano y recuerdos positivos de su experiencia.
Aspectos Destacados del Establecimiento
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.
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.”

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.
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.
For more information about your stay or visit, please consult our Patient and Family Visitor Guide.
Please use the American Family Children’s Hospital parking ramp at 1675 Highland Ave., Madison WI 53792. For clinic appointments, bring your parking ticket inside for validation. If staying overnight, you’ll receive up to two free parking passes.
Our spacious, colorful rooms are big enough to accommodate families, many of whom “move in” with us while their child is hospitalized. A sofa-sleeper in each room allows a parent or caregiver to spend the night alongside their child.
Our Positive Image Center allows children to ease anxiety during their stay. Salon services include haircuts and styles, temporary hair coloring, hair sparkles and feathers, wig fitting and application, nail painting and make-up application.
