2013 - Children`s Hospital of Wisconsin

Nothing matters more than our children.
At Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin,
we believe that kids deserve the best.
Our belief drives everything we do.
It defines our vision for the future
and our mission for today.
Originally founded by seven women who recognized the
tremendous need for pediatric care in the community,
Children’s continues to rely on community support now more than ever.
And the community has responded!
In 2013, we had a record-setting year, raising approximately $46 million
to support our care, advocacy, research and education efforts,
providing the very best for kids and families.
