Milwaukee Children's Hospital would be incorporated in a 75-bed unit at the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, dealing with so-called tertiary care patients, those requiring the most advanced level of medicine.

This 150-bed hospital would become the only hospital in the New York City area specializing entirely in providing tertiary care—the highest level of care—for seriously ill children.

The part that gets the most recognition is the relatively small tertiary care segment with advanced technology and highly specialized medical personnel.
