About the Center
The Center for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is one of the largest centers of its kind in the United States.
We care for approximately 1,400 children a year with IBD, who come here from all over the world.
Specialized care and support
For patients
Our team of pediatric IBD experts gives your child expert care, from initial testing and diagnosis through long-term disease management.
Although there currently is no cure for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, our innovative methods control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Your child will receive the latest treatments for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease, as well as intensive support from our team of physicians, psychologists, social workers, nutritionists, nurses, educators, pediatric surgeons, laboratory technicians and clinical researchers.
For families
Because pediatric IBD places unique emotional demands on your child and family, you will receive the support and counseling you need to adapt to life with IBD.
We invite you to become part of the Center's support network by attending meetings and events where you can interact with others experiencing the same challenges.
Research benefits
Our researchers are actively involved in basic and clinical research studies. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of IBD's causes and processes, to find better treatments, and ultimately, to find a cure.
Your child has the opportunity to participate in these clinical studies and to benefit from any research advances that are applied to patient care.
