Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at Children's Mercy cares for children and adolescents with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and indeterminate colitis. Patients are seen by a team of a gastroenterologist, nurse practitioner, psychologist, social worker, nutritionist and researchers, with biologic infusions given at the hospital's outpatient infusion centres. A Young Adult IBD Clinic prepares patients aged 17 and over for the move to adult care.
