Visiting a new doctor or clinic can be overwhelming your first time. At Children’s Wisconsin, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Most of our visits take place in the MACC Fund Center at the Children’s Wisconsin Milwaukee Hospital.

Some of our experts also see kids at the Children's Wisconsin Fox Valley Hospital.

For blood disorders, your child may need to visit the adjacent Northwestern Mutual Day Hospital for treatments. There, we provide blood transfusions, red cell exchange, iron infusions and IV immunoglobulin.
