At HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital, kids are a big deal. They’re the focus of our lives and nothing is more important than their health and happiness. That’s why, with our partner Prevea Health, we built a children’s hospital within the walls of HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, right here in Green Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

As patients, children have unique health care needs and require care and attention that’s designed to meet these needs. Children’s hospitals specialize in the unique health care needs of children and treat more complex pediatric cases than other hospitals, in environments that are designed exclusively for kids. Due to their specialization and higher volume of complex cases, children's hospitals offer safer, more effective care.

Children often require more time, monitoring and communication that caters to both them and their families. Here, care for kids involves the family and is delivered by specially trained physicians and clinicians in environments tailored for children. This includes compassionate caregivers who understand children's physical, mental, emotional and behavioral needs; smaller equipment; carefully calculated medication and special procedures.

Children's hospitals, which serve larger regions than adult hospitals, make up less than five percent of all hospitals in the U.S. but provide a significant portion of pediatric acute care. These hospitals are vital centers for pediatric medical education and research, and why we joined the Children’s Hospital Association.

In 2015, HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital became a member of the Children’s Hospital Association, the voice for more than 220 children’s hospitals nationwide.

As champions for children’s health, the Children’s Hospital Association advances public policy enabling hospitals to better serve children and builds awareness of child health issues. It is the premier resource for pediatric data and analytics driving improved clinical and operational performance among its hospital members.

As of 2024, HSHS St. Vincent Children's Hospital is 1 of 5 children’s hospitals in Wisconsin, and 1 of 220 children’s hospitals in the United States.

HSHS St. Vincent Hospital has been serving kids in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area for more than 130 years.

After years of experience, expertise and growth, an important step was taken toward improving pediatric care for families in Northeast Wisconsin, the Lakeshore and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. In 2015, we became the first and only dedicated children’s hospital in Green Bay, HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital.

Professionally and personally devoted to families from Northeast Wisconsin, the Lakeshore and the UP – HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital offers 24/7 dedicated pediatric emergency care, pediatric intensive care and newborn intensive care units; pediatric hematology and oncology care; child life services; therapy for kids; and much more.

No. HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital is located inside the same building as HSHS St. Vincent Hospital.

Residing within an existing hospital, HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital is able to take advantage of services that already exist at HSHS St. Vincent, such as X-ray, laboratory, environmental services, billing and more. This model also allows for more efficient use of high-end technologies and well-established networks of care and affiliations to deliver high-quality support, specialty care needs and outreach efforts.

We offer specialized care tailored just for kids, and we involve the family every step of the way.

Inside HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital, families have access to a pediatric emergency center, pediatric intensive care and pediatric care units, a newborn intensive care unit, pediatric hematology and oncology care, child life services, therapy for kids, and much more.

From kid-sized medical equipment, precise medication dosing and sedation options to a teen lounge, child-friendly activities and an enormous interactive video wall, our hospital is designed with kids in mind. Our spaces not only cater to children but also to their families, with a parent lounge, accommodations for parents to stay in the room - including showers, and more.

Our team of experts is dedicated to advancing children's health with compassion, child-specific protocols, careful monitoring and family-focused communication to help our young patients heal and thrive – all while feeling and being treated like a kid.

We partner with Prevea Health to provide pediatric specialists at the hospital for things like trauma, critical, cancer and hematology care.
