Message from the Chair of Pediatrics
American Family Children's Hospital
The American Family Children's Hospital at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics is a six-story, 194,000 square foot, 61-bed facility that opened August 2007.
The inpatient rooms in the American Family Children's Hospital average over 250 square feet. Other areas such as classroom space, Child Life play areas, and patient/family spaces have been considerably expanded from the old building. The goal was to create a unique child-friendly architectural look and feel, an element that contributes to the healing of children.
