Here We Grow Again

from Shine Newsletter, Winter 2007

The Children's Hospital is expanding to meet your child's every healthcare need with our Growth and Genetics Clinic. This new clinic offers a resource for parents who may have questions or need more information about their children's developmental needs.

The Growth and Genetics Clinic provides comprehensive services for children with growth problems that may be caused by genetic conditions. To simplify access to the best possible care, the Growth and Genetics Clinic offers two areas of expertise in just one visit. The clinic is especially suited for children who would receive simultaneous referrals for both endocrinology and genetic evaluations. After an initial evaluation, the clinic provides individualized diagnostic care to ensure children receive the highest quality care and parents receive the information and support they need.

For referral to The Children's Hospital Growth and Genetics Clinic, contact your physician.
