About Our Pediatric Neonatology Program

The UPMC Newborn Medicine Program has dedicated plans for consensus management of many neonatal conditions, including gastroschisis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Pierre Robin sequence, myelomeningocele, NAS, and others. The program is an Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Center of Excellence and a Quality Improvement Leader in the Children’s Hospitals Neonatal Consortium.

Tantamount to the superior clinical care are two other goals that the UPMC Newborn Medicine Program embraces: commitment to cutting-edge research and providing exceptional medical education and training. We take pride in contributing to one of the fastest growing pediatric research programs in the United States. Our basic science research physicians are expanding our understanding of many common neonatal disease processes while exploring innovative therapies for treatment. Our clinical research physicians are participating in many multicenter studies: studies vital to solving many of today's health challenges, helping to improve the safety and efficacy of current treatments, and investigating promising new therapies and interventions.
