A Recognized Leader

The First Choice
For the majority of patients, intestinal rehabilitation is the first choice of therapy. By providing nutritional, medical, and surgical care to children and adults, our intestinal rehabilitation program can significantly improve the lives of children, adolescents, and adults with severe disorders, diseases, and injuries to the digestive tract.
Treating Children and Adults
For more than 20 years, our multidisciplinary team of experts has treated thousands of children and adults with intestinal failure. Our Center for Intestinal Rehabilitation provides a multidisciplinary framework for addressing these complex problems thanks to a strong, collaborative relationship among our team.
In addition to physician guidance, our rehabilitation program has dedicated nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, and dieticians evaluating and treating patients with intestinal failure. Patients receive customized medical treatment and surgical interventions to restore their digestive tracts.
Addressing Digestive Disorders
Many of our intestinal rehabilitation patients have genetic or acquired conditions that prevent their digestive tracts from absorbing life-sustaining nutrients. Some may require parenteral nutrition (IV feeding). Our team works to prevent complications of long term parenteral nutrition, such as liver failure, clots that lead to loss of venous access, and catheter-related infections. Ultimately, our goal is to help patients minimize or even eliminate the need for parenteral nutrition altogether.
