Patient Resources
Webinars for IBD
After diagnosis, it’s important to begin learning about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, to better understand these conditions and how to manage symptoms. We are here to help.
Every two months, GI Care for Kids and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) jointly offer a webinar for patients and their families. This is a great way to learn more about various treatment options and psychological services, as well as to hear from experienced patients and parents.
If you are interested in attending a webinar, please reach out to your GI Care for Kids provider for more information.
Join the Family Advisory Council
The ImproveCareNow Family Advisory Council is a group of parents and patients who work directly with GI Care for Kids to improve care. Their role is to design and implement tools to continually improve the high standard of care we provide to our IBD patients.
