American Family Children's Hospital
A partnership for children's health
UW Health pediatric specialists from the American Family Children's Hospital travel to Appleton on a regular basis to see patients at the UW Pediatric Specialty Clinic, located within St. Elizabeth Hospital. Children who need specialty care can receive check-ups, diagnosis and some treatments in their own community. Whether visiting with the doctor in person or through telemedicine technology, parents can be assured their children will receive the specialty care they need.
