Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, founded in 1894, is one of the leading centers for pediatric health care in the United States. In a comprehensive survey, Parent's Magazine rated Children's Hospital of Wisconsin as the third best children's hospital in the nation. Private, independent and not-for-profit, the hospital serves children and families from Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, northern Illinois and beyond. Children's Hospital was reverified as a Level 1 Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons in 2004. The hospital currently is the only freestanding Level 1 Trauma Center dedicated solely to the care of children in Wisconsin. In 2004, the hospital was also designated a Magnet hospital by the American Nursing Credentialing Center. This national honor recognizes nursing excellence. Children's Hospital is the flagship member of Children's Hospital and Health System. Thank you for being part of our lifesaving mission-because it's the right thing to do for kids!
