Madison has a brand new facility to provide top-notch healthcare for children. This fall, UW Hospital expanded to include the brand new American Family Children’s Hospital (AFCH). After an initial flagship contribution from American Family Insurance, donations came from a variety of sources to fund the $78 million project, designed by HDR Architecture and built by J.H. Findorff&Son.

“This was a community effort to put this together,” Jim Yehle, Findorff Project Manager, says.

This world-class facility not only demonstrates the community’s generosity towards children and UW-Madison, but it also marks a commitment to healthcare development and an improved quality of life for those in need of care.
