Find a Provider

Emplify Health by Bellin is partnered with Children’s Wisconsin and ThedaCare on a pediatric joint venture called Connected for Kids. It is aimed at improving the health and well-being of children and adolescents in Northeast and Central Wisconsin, as well as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Through focused coordination, closer alignment and resource investments, the partnership is making a meaningful impact on the lives of children, adolescents, their families and our region’s communities.

The partner organizations remain independent entities and maintain responsibility for the day-to-day operations of pediatric services at our respective clinics and facilities. At the same time, we are working closely together to enhance pediatric primary and specialty care to benefit the children and adolescents in our region.

Each partner organization plays an essential role in improving care and access through this partnership. Direct benefits to patients include:

Bringing additional pediatric services and specialists to the region to expand access to local, close-to-home care.
Reducing the need for children and their families to travel outside the region when a higher level of care is needed.
Consistent, best-practice standards of care across each organization's care settings in the region.
Tailored child and adolescent services that meet community-specific needs with the right resources, expertise, skilled providers and clinical staff, technology and more.
Better and more efficient care through seamless care coordination and tighter alignment across the three systems.

For Patients and Community

We are working hard to realize the promise of this important partnership. As we move forward, it is essential to know that children and their families will continue to see the same physicians and providers they know and trust, and all current insurance plans will continue to be accepted.

Family Medicine Providers and Pediatricians are the vital home base for the children and adolescents we serve. This partnership continues to support those relationships while adding collaboration among the partner organizations and more access to specialty care services over time.

Comprehensive Pediatric Primary & Specialty Care Under One Roof

A new pediatric and adolescent specialty care clinic, operated through the Connected for Kids partnership, is the home for some of Emplify Health by Bellin's pediatric primary care and psychiatric services, with specialty services provided by Children’s Wisconsin and Emplify Health by Bellin experts. Among many other programs and services, the clinic houses the Emplify Health by Bellin Adolescent Team, a first-in-the-area clinic that offers a tailored approach to addressing the multifaceted healthcare needs of children and adolescents.

We are proud to bring localized, specialty care to our communities and provide children and teens with the expert care they deserve.
