Meet Prince, King and Idanna from Milwaukee

These siblings have received care at the Midtown Clinic for many years. They receive pediatric primary care to ensure they are growing, healthy and thriving. Several years ago, during one of his well-child visits, Prince had a routine blood lead test. His results were extremely high, requiring him to be hospitalized at Children’s Wisconsin for specialized care. Children’s Wisconsin centralized lead care management team helped connect his family to the local health department, who helped address the lead risks in their home, including updating their windows, which were a source of lead contamination. In addition to primary care at Midtown Clinic, Prince and King both see the dental providers who are integrated at Midtown for regular checkups. Children’s Wisconsin also offers integrated mental and behavioral health at primary care clinics, which Prince and King have also benefited from. Prince received an ADHD diagnosis, and the mental and behavioral health team helped manage his medication. Having access to the mental health team on-site when they needed it was crucial. Their Medicaid insurance has been critical for their family, helping them access services to keep their kids healthy. 

Please keep Medicaid strong for kids like Prince, King and Idanna!
