Forward Pediatric Alliance: A joint effort to advance heart care

Forward Pediatric Alliance is a collaboration between Children’s Wisconsin and UW Health Kids to expand access to world-class congenital heart care.

Forward Pediatric Alliance is an example of what can be achieved when two leading pediatric health care providers join forces to improve health outcomes for congenital heart disease patients along the continuum of care from fetal life through adulthood.

UW Health Kids and Children’s Wisconsin remain independent health care organizations. Although separate organizations, we are working together to create a collaborative program across two campuses that will enable us to:

  • Expand patient access to world-class pediatric cardiac care and adult congenital heart care.

  • Build elite clinical care teams to increase quality and achieve great health outcomes with collaborative quality assessment and improvement activities.

  • Advance research and innovation, as well as train the next generation of health care clinicians.

  • Deliver an overall better patient experience.
