n the late 1950s, Kay Emerson became the first person in Wisconsin to be successfully treated for phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare metabolic condition that can cause severe intellectual and developmental disability if left untreated. She was treated by Harry Waisman, MD, PhD, who was a renowned PKU researcher and physician and who the Waisman Center is named after. He advocated to add PKU to the Newborn Screening Panel in Wisconsin.
