ASHWAUBENON (NBC 26) — A new children and adolescent center in Ashwaubenon is just about ready to open, and on Wednesday, NBC 26 got a sneak peek of the new facility.
Specialists from Emplify Health by Bellin and Children's Wisconsin will offer care for children and young adults up to age 22.

The facility features multiple sensory rooms — including a gym and playground — and the area's first EOS machine, a state-of-the-art, low-dose X-ray system.
"It makes a 3D scan of the spine, and it does it in two minutes and it decreases the radiation by 70 percent," Emplify Health by Bellin Adolescent Team Leader Jamie Hagenow-Sekora said. "So, there are only two other ones like this in the state of Wisconsin: Madison and Milwaukee. So, literally parents may be driving three hours to get a two-minute exam."
The new pediatric center at 2550 S. Ashland Ave. is set to welcome its first patients on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
