Plenty of Room

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.

Up to two primary support persons are allowed with a child either in the hospital or for clinic visit. No siblings or other visitors are currently allowed due to COVID-19. A patient’s care team may make compassionate exceptions when appropriate. 

Care for siblings

Unfortunately, our sibling care service – normally available to siblings of patients ages 3-12 – is currently closed due to COVID-19. We look forward to resuming this service.

Kingston's journey was unbelievable and unpredictable but after two years as an inpatient at American Family Children's Hospital, and through the remarkable care of the pediatric transplant team and his incredible nurses, he has a new kidney and was finally able to go home.

If your child has a heart problem, you’ll want expert care from a hospital with an outstanding track record. Our program also is recognized for its superior surgical outcomes and shorter hospital stays for kids who have open heart surgery.

Pioneers in the fight against childhood cancer

Most babies, thankfully, are born without complications. If, however, your baby’s life hangs in the balance because of a complex medical condition, American Family Children’s Hospital is one of just two places in Wisconsin with a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) that is licensed to care for the very sickest babies. UW Health Kids experts in neonatology, pediatric surgery and every pediatric specialty imaginable are here for you and your baby.
