Our team of dedicated specialists coordinates efforts to deliver comprehensive care for every aspect of your family’s needs. We even design special services. For example, UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital created a support network to help families with non-medical services – social workers to help with family interactions, financial representatives to counsel on tough issues, child life specialists to help with inevitable emotional challenges, etc.

In addition, we engage in ongoing research for developing innovative therapies and for addressing safety issues such as complications or risks that may be associated with medications.
