FRANKLIN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Children’s Wisconsin announced Tuesday, Sept. 9 that it will build a new 22,000-square-foot Franklin Clinic near 51st and Rawson. Construction is scheduled to begin later 2025, with the clinic opening in early 2027.

The current Franklin Pediatrics location on Rawson will relocate to the new site. Officials said in the announcement that the move follows growth and capacity limits at the existing clinic.

The expanded Franklin Clinic will provide primary care, integrated behavioral health and child and family counseling. It will also add services including speech-language pathology, developmental physical and occupational therapy and sports physical therapy.

Children’s Wisconsin leaders noted that the benefits of staying in Franklin include providing continuity for current patients while creating space to serve additional families in Franklin, Milwaukee and surrounding communities.
