Children & Adolescent Center, Clinic are part of Connected for Kids partnership
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – Emplify Health by Bellin, along with partner Children’s Wisconsin, is proud to announce the opening of a new facility designed to meet the health care needs of children throughout Northeast and Central Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This unique-to-our-region building will house many of Emplify Health by Bellin’s pediatric primary care and behavioral health services and Adolescent Team, along with specialty services provided by Children’s Wisconsin and Emplify Health by Bellin experts.
The Emplify Health by Bellin Children & Adolescent Center will house an array of services that can meet the unique and specialized needs of children ages 0 – 22. Located within the center, the Children’s Wisconsin Ashwaubenon Clinic will provide additional specialty care closer to home, for area kids and teens. Located at 2550 S. Ashland Ave., the center and clinic will begin seeing patients Tuesday, Aug. 26.
“Our goal was to provide a space for our children to receive care that meets their needs while being enjoyable and comfortable for all abilities,” said Dr. Sherri Hoyman, Emplify Health by Bellin Pediatrician. “The convenience of having many services under one roof means less travel time for families and better coordination of care.”
The Emplify Health by Bellin Children & Adolescent Center and Children’s Wisconsin Ashwaubenon Clinic are part of the Connected for Kids partnership between Emplify Health by Bellin, Children’s Wisconsin and ThedaCare. Aimed at improving the health and well-being of children and adolescents in our regions, the partnership allows focused coordination, closer alignment and resource investments between the health systems.
Within the Children & Adolescent Center, Emplify Health by Bellin will offer specialized services such as behavioral health, adolescent care and audiology, as well as a child life specialist and room, disordered eating services, life skills apartment, pediatric lab, sensory room, all-abilities sensory gym and playground.
“We are excited to introduce the area’s first EOS machine, which provides low-radiation full body imaging,” added Dr. Hoyman. “The center will also house a Kitten Scanner, which is a fun way for kids to be more involved with their health care by allowing them to perform their own MRI or CT scans on their stuffed animals. This helps them ease their fears before their own scans take place.”
Children’s Wisconsin will be offering several specialty services including cardiology, endocrinology, GI, hematology, nephrology, urology, therapies, surgery, complex care and more.
“We want our Wisconsin kids to be the healthiest in the nation, and we know we can’t do it alone,” said Dr. Matthew Buelow, Medical Director of the Northeast Region of Children’s Wisconsin. “By working alongside our Connected for Kids partner, Emplify Health by Bellin, we can further improve the health and wellbeing of our children.”
“The center and clinic will offer great expertise — and a great experience,” added Dr. Hoyman. “This facility will not only provide top quality health care, but also make receiving care enjoyable for our kids and their families. We can’t wait to get started.”
