Children with IBD have specific needs that require a team approach to management. Nutrition, growth, body image and dealing with a chronic illness are among the special concerns of families and patients. By creating a Center for IBD, we are able to offer a multifaceted approach to patient care. The center is open on specific afternoons and evenings to encourage participation by the whole family and allow patients to gather together to share ideas. Lectures, discussions and support groups are open to all families. The entire team of healthcare professionals participates in the care so that outcomes are optimized.

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 is the same as yours: to help children with IBD lead normal, productive lives and achieve all their personal aspirations.

The Center’s mission is to provide:

• State-of-the-art medical care
