Pediatric GI patients have the support of a CADC registered dietitian, social worker, and patient navigator. Those diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can also benefit from the pediatric IBD transition program, designed to help patients with these troubling chronic diseases to manage all aspects of their care as they enter adulthood.
