Research
As the region's only independent health care system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of children, our research attracts pioneering researchers in their fields. As researchers leap into the unknown, we work collaboratively with academic providers who translate innovative ideas into new breakthroughs. We represent the most powerful concentration of pediatric research in the region.
Many of the pediatric physicians, advanced practice providers and scientists who perform research that is advancing care at Children’s Wisconsin are from the Medical College of Wisconsin. They collaborate with experts and organizations regionally and nationally to further treatment options and enhance health care possibilities for children everywhere.
Welcome to tomorrow's medicine.
