The Children’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Center at Mount Sinai

The Children’s IBD Center at Mount Sinai was founded to provide innovative and comprehensive care to pediatric patients with Crohn’s and Colitis. Over 1200 children with IBD are followed at Mount Sinai making over 4000 visits per year. This extensive pediatric experience, in collaboration with the hospital’s internationally renowned adult IBD program, makes Mount Sinai an ideal location for a unique approach to IBD care in children.

Our Goal….

….is to open the lines of communication between IBD families and to provide ongoing information and resources through the use of this website, lectures, discussions and support groups.  IBD runs the spectrum from mild to severe disease. No matter how seriously your child is affected, our ultimate goal for all patients is the same as yours: to help children with IBD lead normal, productive lives and achieve all their personal aspirations.The Children’s IBD Center at Mount Sinai provides a team approach with coordinated care from:

physicians, nurses,
social workers,
nutritionists,
child life and
art therapists.

The creation of this website was made possible by a generous donation from Jeanne Langer.
