Children’s Wisconsin wants to expand its clinic on Milwaukee’s northwest side and relocate it next to the Uihlein Soccer Park. The new Good Hope Clinic building would allow for urgent care services to be provided in an area of Milwaukee that has the second largest pediatric population.
The new building would allow Children’s Wisconsin to expand primary care services offered at Good Hope Pediatrics, at 7720 Good Hope Road, and add a pediatric-dedicated urgent care with daytime and evening hours and onsite imaging services. Children’s Wisconsin is working with Weas Development, who would build and own the 20,000-square-foot building. Proposals and zoning requests have been submitted to the city of Milwaukee and will need to be approved before the project can move forward. The plan is to break ground on the building in early 2024 and to open mid-year 2025.
Good Hope Pediatrics cares for more than 4,000 children, which has been at its location since 2008. In 2022, thanks to a $20-million donation from The Yabuki Family Foundation, mental and behavioral health to create a new standard for the evaluation and treatment of children by integrating mental health, alongside physical health.
When the new Good Hope Clinic opens in 2025, Children’s Wisconsin will transfer urgent care services offered at Mayfair Clinic, 3040 N. 117th St. in Wauwatosa, to the new clinic. Due to space constraints, the Mayfair location can only support evening and weekend hours, and doesn’t offer imaging services. The new location affords the opportunity to better meet the increasing trend in urgent care visits and respond to community feedback for increasing urgent care services. This also supports efforts by Children’s Wisconsin to provide the right level of care in the right location, providing families a more appropriate care option than an emergency room for minor illnesses and injuries.
