We provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to managing the orthopaedic needs of children and teens, while at the same time attending to their social, emotional, and developmental needs. Ours is one of only two such programs in Connecticut. From diagnosis and treatment, to surgery and follow-up care, our team works with other pediatric specialty clinics to care for young patients with a wide spectrum of orthopaedic conditions, including: Bone deformity Cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular conditions Conditions specific to female athletes Disorders of the hip, including hip dysplasia Fractures, dislocations, and other musculoskeletal injuries Hand and arm disorders Femur fracture Foot and ankle disorders, including clubfoot Leg length discrepancy Scoliosis Overuse and traumatic injuries in the growing athlete Skeletal dysplasia

Considered one of the nation’s most respected sections in endocrinology and diabetes, our team includes nationally recognized physicians, certified nurse practitioners, nurse educators, dietitians, social workers, and other caregivers. We help children and their families with the many problems that may accompany defects in the endocrine system, including diabetes, growth problems, and obesity. Yale Pediatric Endocrinology faculty are expert in the clinical management of endocrine and metabolic disorders, including: Type 1 diabetes Type 2 diabetes Obesity & weight management in children Interdisciplinary bariatric surgery clinic Lipid disorders, including hyperlipidemia and lipodystrophy General endocrine disorders Thyroid disease Parathyroid Adrenal, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia Pituitary Neuroendocrine Growth & puberty Polycystic ovarian syndrome Metabolic bone disease, including nutritional rickets & osteomalacia Interdisciplinary differences in sexual differentiation Interdisciplinary transgender program Hormonal complications of cancer and cancer treatment

Our highly skilled cardiologists expertly treat and diagnose heart failure—a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle can’t pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to caring for cardiac patients at Yale New Haven Hospital, we provide treatment to the rapidly growing number of outpatients living with heart failure in the community. We treat each patient with a personalized plan, carefully monitoring medications on an ongoing basis while minding other issues that affect cardiac health. We also educate patients and their families about lifestyle changes, prescribe and oversee exercise rehabilitation programs, and facilitate communication between the many professionals involved in outpatient care. Our physicians work as part of a multidisciplinary team to offer patients comprehensive care with the goal of prolonging their life and improving its quality. Treatment options may include medications, short- or long-term mechanical support, or heart transplant. Before treatment begins, we perform cardiac diagnostic procedures, such as stress tests, catheterization, and biopsies. We collaborate with cardiac-trained radiologists to provide noninvasive imaging studies including positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 2D and 3D electrocardiography. At the Center for Advanced Heart Failure at Yale New Haven Hospital, we treat the full continuum of heart failure and offer a variety of medical and surgical treatment options. The center cares for patients with an LVAD (left ventricular assist device), a battery-operated mechanical pump that is surgically implanted and helps maintain the heart’s pumping ability when it can’t work effectively on its own. This is the only long-term mechanical circulatory support for patients otherwise ineligible for heart transplant. Our surgeons regularly perform heart transplants and LVAD implantations, and our heart transplant survival and post-LVAD rates are among the best in the region.
