Support and Resources for Patients With IBD

We believe in providing family-centered care where health care providers and the family are partners -- working together to best meet the needs of the child. Our inflammatory bowel disease specialists educate patients and families and assist with quality-of-life issues.

From helping you prepare for your first visit — to identifying support groups that help families cope with diagnoses and surgeries, our center will help your family prepare for whatever lies ahead.

We offer registration for our bi-monthly new patient orientation sessions which provide an overview of services and support available at Cincinnati Children’s. The orientation program includes brief talks from various members of the care team including nurses, physicians, dietitians, financial advocate, research coordinator, social worker, psychologist and patient/parent mentors.
