Success Story: Lukas graduates to greater independence
When Lukas Klinge was born, he weighed less than 2 pounds. It was the start of a long road for him and his mom, Julia.
Among his many challenges in his early life, Lukas would need the assistance of a trach in order to receive the full complement of oxygen he needed. For four-plus years, Lukas was a participant in MCFI Children's Services and Pediatric Skilled Nursing Program. Through those years, Lukas received the necessary care and therapy to help his development.
In October 2022, at nearly 5 years old, Lukas walked out of CFI without a trach.
Lukas has graduated and is onto the next step of living a more independent life.
Check out his amazing story and a message of gratitude from his mom.
Medical Day Care
Established in 2006, our medical day care serves children and toddlers with complex medical conditions. The program goal is to improve the health of each child — many who are tracheotomy- and/or ventilator-dependent — while providing a caring and enriching learning environment and support for the family. It is the only community-based skilled nursing service for children in Milwaukee certified by Medicaid. It is also the only program that has earned the Joint Commission gold-seal accreditation, an internationally recognized quality certification for health-care organizations.
Who We Serve
Children ages birth to 21.
What We Offer
Skilled nursing day services for children with complex health care issues.
