A Healthy Foundation For Your Child
Caring for your little one’s health is an important job. That’s why we’re here to support you and your child through every stage of development to ensure they thrive from birth to young adulthood. We are passionate about helping children grow through quality care in an environment that makes them feel safe and comfortable.
ThedaCare pediatric providers are trained in any physical or emotional health need that may arise during your child’s life. We welcome new patients of all ages, and encourage expectant mothers to choose a pediatric provider for their baby before they deliver. We look forward to serving you and your child through all the joys and challenges of life as they grow.

Certified Lactation Counselors
Once mom and baby have left the hospital, there can be many questions around nursing. Our Certified Lactation Counselors (CLCs) are available to provide information and support to nursing mothers. Office hours are held at the Appleton and Neenah ThedaCare Pediatrics clinics.
Connected for Kids
ThedaCare is partnering with Bellin Health and Children’s Wisconsin on a pediatric joint venture, Connected for Kids. It’s 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.
