While offering comprehensive care in many specialty areas, the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition also provides expertise to several interdisciplinary programs.

The Advanced Nutrition program provides multidisciplinary and innovative nutrition support to children who are followed at Cincinnati Children's, in an effort to improve patient outcomes.

It is one of only a few programs in the United States offering advanced nutrition services for children with complex nutritional conditions, including severe malnutrition and complicated gastrostomy / gastrojejunostomy feeding.

The Advanced Nutrition program evaluates patients who are at risk, or already identified with nutritional deficiencies, in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. Through collaboration with MDs, RDs, RNs and pharmacists, an individualized plan is formulated for the patient in order to optimize nutrition.

The Aerodigestive and Esophageal Center is internationally known for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to evaluating and caring for chronically ill children with complex airway, pulmonary, upper digestive tract, sleep, and feeding disorders. Read more.
The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) is the international leader in both caring for patients with eosinophilic conditions and researching the best treatments and cure. The CCED was the first center established that brings together experts in allergy / immunology, gastroenterology, social work, nutrition and pathology to evaluate, treat and study these chronic medical problems in children and adults. The CCED’s multidisciplinary team has extensive experience with these disorders and aims to provide personalized care and learn from each patient. Read more.
