Specialized care for pediatric rheumatic diseases

Children with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions like juvenile arthritis, lupus and other rheumatic diseases often start their journey to specialized care with a referral from their primary care provider. They play a crucial role in spotting early signs and ensuring that your child gets the care they need. Through our partnership with  Boston Children's Hospital, specialized treatments and resources are available to manage these conditions and prevent long-term complications.

Once referred, a personalized treatment plan is created based on your child’s unique needs. Throughout the process, your child’s primary care doctor stays involved, coordinating follow-up visits and supporting their overall health. This collaborative approach ensures that your child receives the comprehensive care they need to live life to the fullest, free from the challenges of their condition.
