MILWAUKEE (7/28/2009) - Children's Hospital and Health System is set to open its new outpatient specialty center just north of I-43 at the intersection of Moorland and Beloit Roads in New Berlin, Wis. A grand opening ceremony will be held 8 a.m. Thursday, July 30 and patient care begins when doors open to the public Monday, Aug. 3.
The outpatient center includes Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Clinics-New Berlin, which brings 15 pediatric specialties closer to the children and parents of New Berlin and surrounding communities. Specialties include: Adolescent Medicine, Allergy/Asthma (adult and pediatric), Audiology, Behavioral Health, Cardiology, Dermatology, ENT, Gastroenterology, Neurology, Pulmonary, Sinus, Sleep, Speech and Surgery consultation/follow-up with care provided by more than 40 pediatric specialty physicians and advance practice nurses. The clinic also will offer walk-in and scheduled laboratory and radiology services, including ultrasound, X-ray, fluoroscopy, MRI and CT.
"This new outpatient center is our first, and is designed to bring Children's top-rated pediatric care closer to some suburban populations," said Sue Widmann, director, Ambulatory Services, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. "We hope this will offer greater convenience and make life easier for parents whose children need specialty care."
Children's Medical Group-Forest View Pediatrics, a large pediatrician group with eight physicians, will relocate from Forest Home Ave. in Hales Corners to the new center, opening Saturday, August 29. The Forest View Pediatrics practice has been part of the community since 1962 and has more than 35,000 patient visits annually.
"As pediatricians, we are excited to have this opportunity to better serve our families from the greater Milwaukee community," said Chris Zukowski, MD, Children's Medical Group-Forest View Pediatrics. "This new space will provide more convenient and improved access to our services and the specialty care from Children's Hospital."
