The Healthy Generations Program is a “teen-tot”
program that provides medical care, family planning,
case management, social work, and mental health
services to adolescent parents and their children in
the Washington, DC, area. The program serves
approximately 500 families at three Children’s Health
Centers in underserved areas of the city. Compared
to city and national averages, teen parents enrolled in
the program are much less likely to become pregnant
again while still a teenager, and their children have
higher immunization rates, among other positive
outcomes. Generations also serves young fathers
through case management, support groups, and
individual counseling. Generations has received
many awards, including the District of Columbia
Hospital Association 2005 Haynes Rice Community
Service Award, the National Organization for Adolescent
Parenting Pregnancy and Prevention 2003 Spirit of
Service Award, and was honored by Senator Hillary
Clinton in 2000 at a White House Reception for using
innovative approaches to teen pregnancy prevention
in the District of Columbia. The Healthy Generations
Program also was instrumental in forming the DC
Secondary Prevention Coalition with the DC Campaign
to Prevent Teen Pregnancy in order to increase
collaboration among organizations providing care to
adolescent parents in Washington, DC.

Sub-specialty: NeuroOncology
The Brain Tumor Institute boasts one of the most
active clinical and translational research programs in
the country. It is the only brain tumor center in the
region that is a member of the Children’s Oncology
Group’s Phase I Consortium, Pediatric Brain Tumor
Consortium, the Pacific Neuro-Oncology
Consortium, the Collaborative Ependymoma
Research Network, and Neurofibromatosis Clinical
Trials Consortium, ensuring that children cared for
receive the newest in treatment. Children’s National
also collaborates with St. Jude’s, Duke University,
and other leading institutions in selective areas of
clinical care.
The clinical/translational research program is
supported by a robust brain tumor research program
with focused research in medulloblastomas, highgrade gliomas, brainstem gliomas, and low-grade
gliomas. Children’s experienced neurosurgical team
uses advanced techniques such as image-guided
surgery and laser guided heat ablation.
The Division of Neurosurgery at Children’s National
has one the lowest rates (less than five percent) of
posterior fossa mutism syndrome (temporary loss of
speech) in the United States, an essentially negligible
mortalityrate, and one of the lowest shunt infection
incidences in the country.
A brain lab, with a fully integrated intra-operative
MRI, is an essential element of the Brain Tumor
Institute at Children’s National. The institute recently
opened a molecular diagnostics laboratory providing
CLIA-certified, Nanostring-based molecular
diagnostics for children with brain tumors. Genetic

The Brain Tumor Institute at Children’s National
Health System is a multidisciplinary, internationally
respected program, which evaluates children
throughout the world with brain tumors. Utilizing
the newest “biologic” therapies, it is at the forefront
of personalized medicine. By finding alternative
treatments with fewer, long-term effects, the team
aspires to cure children and ensure the optimum in
quality of life.

consultation and testing is available to assess the risks of genetic predisposition
conditions underlying the development of brain tumors and the associated risks
of cancer development for other family members.
The Neuro-Oncology Program at Children’s National has been in continuous
operation for nearly 20 years. Approximately 1,000 patients annually, including
180 new patients, are treated by the neuro-oncology team. In addition, the team
provides second opinions for more than 200 patients from throughout the nation
and world each year.
The program also conducts studies on the sequelae of childhood brain tumors
and their treatment, as well as offering new therapies (including cognitive
rehabilitation) to overcome these sequelae. Children’s National’s brain tumor
laboratories study tumor biology in efforts to develop new molecularly-targeted
therapy and prevent the long term effects of the tumor and its treatment.
Efforts include:
• New patient evaluations and ongoing care
• Second opinions
• Surgical treatment
• Neuroimaging (structural and functional)
• Chemotherapy
• Biologic therapy
• Neurocognitive assessment
• Late effect evaluations and ongoing care
• Concurrent and follow-up therapies with psychologists and neuropsychologists
• Physical and occupational therapy, with psychiatry direction
Conditions seen include:
• Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors
• Choroid plexus papilloma and carcinoma
• Craniopharyngioma
• Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
• Ependymoma
• Germ cell tumors, including mixed germ cell tumors
• Gliomas, including brain stem, chiasmatic, low grade and optic nerve
• Infantile brain tumor
• Medulloblastoma
• Pineal region tumors
• Primitive neuroectodermal tumors/supratentorial
• Tumors in children with neurofibromatosis, including plexiform neurofibromas,
low-grade gliomas, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors

The Division of Epilepsy and Neurophysiology
includes one of the nation’s largest pediatric teams
that provides an integrated approach to conditions
that benefit from ongoing monitoring, treatment,
and intervention by Children’s specialists with
clinical and research expertise. The following make
up the division:
• Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Program
• Neurology Critical Care
- Pediatric Neuro-ICU Program
- Neuro NICU Program
• Neuromuscular Program
• Neurophysiology Program
Children’s Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy
Program sees close to 8,000 patients each year.
Care for these patients begins with new onset seizure
evaluation/education, through long-term care, and
adult transition. Epilepsy treatment at Children’s
includes strong cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric
evaluation and support. Comprehensive treatment
options include new pharmaceutical therapeutics,
ketogenic diet, vagal nerve stimulation, and epilepsy
surgery. The team also addresses the concurrent social,
educational, and emotional issues faced by the patient
and family.
Neurology Critical Care includes the Pediatric
Neuro-ICU Program and the Neonatal Neuro-ICU
Program
in Children’s state-of-the-art Inpatient Tower.
The inpatient neurology team collaborates with
Children’s neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and critical
care intensivists to provide comprehensive clinical care
for children with complex conditions, illnesses, or
injuries. Children’s technologically advanced Neuro
ICU is the only pediatric ICU in the region that is
dedicated to neurological focus in critical care. This
service offers the only pediatric stroke program in the

The Neuromuscular Program is one of the largest in
the country, evaluating and treating infants and children
with muscular dystrophies, myopathies, neuromuscular
junction disorders, peripheral nerve disease, and spinal
muscular atrophy. This team offers a full range of clinical
services, that includes electrodiagnostic studies and
muscle biopsies. Eligible patients can also enroll in
clinical trials that focus on cutting-edge treatment for
neuromuscular diseases. Partnering with the Muscular
Dystrophy Association, this team runs a multidisciplinary
team that includes physicians from Physical Medical
Rehabilitation, Cardiology, Pulmonary, nutritional
counseling, genetic counselor, and social work to ensure
that patients and families receive the best clinical care.
The Neurophysiology Program is comprised of
specialists in all diagnostic testing related to pediatric
neurology assessment and care, including
electroencephalogram (EEG), evoked response,
electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction (NCV).

Hospitalist physicians are general pediatricians
with extensive training and experience in providing
expert care for infants and children with both
common and complex health problems in
consultation with the patient’s primary care
physician. Because Hospitalists are present in the
hospital, they have the ability to reevaluate a
patient’s condition to ensure timely testing,
treatment, and discharge. Hospitalists also work
closely with the Emergency Department and
medical and surgical specialists to ensure that care
is delivered in a coordinated and caring manner
until the child is well enough to return for
follow-up to his/her primary care physician.

The Neurodevelopmental Pediatrics Program is
a resource and referral center for children with
developmental needs and their families. Several fulltime neurodevelopmental pediatricians assess and
diagnose developmental disorders in children from
birth through age 21. We coordinate comprehensive
services and make referrals to various specialty
departments within Children’s National or with
professionals in the region.
The division combines the expertise of its staff
to provide comprehensive services to children with
intellectual and developmental abnormalities that are
sporadic or due to known Neurogenetic conditions.
We work closely with the referring pediatricians as
well as other specialists at Children’s and in the
community to provide comprehensive care for
children who may have multisystem disabilities.
Multidisciplinary clinics such as the neurogenetics
program (see below) and case conferences allow
coordinated care.

Children’s Neurofibromatosis Institute has been
designated a Neurofibromatosis Center of
Excellence by the Childhood Tumor Foundation.
The institute offers a multidisciplinary clinic with
one central location for patients and families to
meet with specialists in genetics, neurology, and
ophthalmology. From that clinic, patients and
families are referred as needed to specialists in
oncology, neurosurgery, neuropsychology, and
otolaryngology.
Children’s Neurofibromatosis Institute was chosen
as one of eight programs in the United States to
participate in the Neurofibromatosis Clinical Trials
Consortium and Dr. Packer is group chair of the
consortium. The institute also participates in
developing new therapeutic treatments for the
neurocognitive aspects of neurofibromatosis, and
assesses the agent, lovastatin, for children with
neurofibromatosis and learning disabilities.
The institute provides extensive support for families
and children, including the coordination of the
largest neurofibromatosis camp on the East Coast
for children between the ages of 7 and 16.

For children and adolescents with a BMI of 95th
percent or higher, the Improving Diet, Energy
and Activity for Life (IDEAL) Clinic provides
comprehensive assessment of the risk factors that
have contributed to accelerated weight gain and
associated comorbidities. We work with children,
adolescents and their families to individualize a
management plan to achieve better metabolic
health and weight regulation. Patients have access
to our team comprised of pediatric weight
management specialists, a preventive cardiologist,
an endocrinologist, a sports medicine physician,
licensed health educators, and registered dieticians.
We work closely with the larger network of Children’s
National dieticians, exercise therapists, psychologists,
and subspecialists in Gastroenterology,
Endocrinology, Nephrology, Orthopaedics and Sleep
Medicine, as well as with our surgical team for
adolescents who will benefit from adjunct surgical
weight loss procedures. The IDEAL Clinic sees
approximately 3000 patient visits annually to
locations in Virginia and Maryland. Patients are seen
every four to six weeks for the first six to twelve
months, with ongoing follow-up tailored to need,
coordinated with community programs to reinforce
healthy habits.
The Bariatric (Weight-Loss) Surgery Program
aims to help children and adolescents who are
morbidly obese through surgical intervention. While
diet and behavior changes can help some children
and adolescents, many of these patients go on to
become obese adults. Weight-loss through bariatric

surgery is one way to treat morbid obesity by
producing significant weight loss, correcting
obesity-related medical conditions, and improving
self-image and socialization. To be considered for
weight-loss surgery, patients must meet specific
criteria.
Patients who wish to undergo weight-loss surgery
must:
• Be at Tanner Development Stage 4 or greater
(unless there is a compelling medical reason to
forego this requirement)
• Have a BMI of at least 35 with an obesity-related
condition, or a BMI greater than 40 without an
obesity-related condition
• Have a history of obesity for at least three years
that includes at least three months of documented
failed attempts at diet and medical management
of obesity
• Complete follow-up visits for five years after
surgery
• Complete all clinically required laboratory and
diagnostic tests
• Have confirmation from a psychologist or
psychiatrist that he or she is sufficiently mature
to comply with the clinical protocol (Done at
Children’s National, although some exceptions
may be made)

The Pain Medicine Care Complex in the Sheikh Zayed
Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation is one of
only a few programs in the country focused exclusively
on managing pain for infants, children, and teens. When
children are unable to express their pain in words, our
pediatric specialists have the unique insight to help.
As part of the institute’s Pain Medicine Initiative, the
Care Complex draws on a multidisciplinary approach
to enable treatment of your child’s physical symptoms
as well as the psychological and emotional aspects of
pain. We consider how a child feels and perceives
pain, and take steps in care to reduce their fears and
their family’s anxieties.
There is no typical pain patient. The team looks at every
part of a child’s pain. We develop a unique treatment
plan that may blend traditional medicine and alternative
therapies to best fit the needs of each patient.
The team helps children affected by long-term pain,
usually lasting four to six weeks, who have not
responded to standard treatments, and patients with
certain conditions, including:
• Autonomic dysfunction associated pain
• Avascular necrosis
• Complex regional pain syndrome
• Discogenic pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Functional Abdominal Pain
• Headaches
• HIV
• Neuropathic pain
• Opioid and medication management
• Osteoarthritis
• Phantom limb pain
• Post-surgical pain
• Rheumatalogic disease
• Sickle cell disease

Children’s National transports more than 6000
neonates and children each year. The transport
team provides rapid access to Children’s National
specialists for conditions such as asthma, heart
problems, seizures, and premature birth.
Transports are performed via ground ambulance and
SkyBear®, Children’s National’s helicopter service.*
We provide optimal care for patients with lifethreatening injuries, illnesses, or other conditions
through highly specialized and extensively trained
pediatric and neonatal ground and flight teams. Most
importantly, the helicopter expands access and improves
transport response times for referrals. Children’s
National is the only hospital in the region with
pediatric trained flight teams.
Neonatal and pediatric transport, via ground or
SkyBear® service, is available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, with immediate access through one
source—Children’s Lifeline (202-476-LIFE). Our
communications and transfer center coordinates
all aspects of the transport and admissions process
and communicates updates to the referring physician.
*STAT MedEvac is a Direct Air Carrier, E3MA774L, that
arranges and coordinates the operation of air ambulance
services. All flights are operated by STAT MedEvac.

As a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, Children’s
National provides the highest level of care for injured
children. Severely injured children brought to the
Emergency Department are immediately evaluated
and treated by a 12-member trauma response team.
The complex inpatient care required by trauma
patients is coordinated by our advanced practice
nurses and surgical staff. We work closely with
physicians specializing in pediatric orthopaedics,
neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and many other
divisions to treat all types of injuries.
Children’s provides comprehensive burn care from
initial evaluation through outpatient rehabilitation.
Patients with burn injuries can be referred to our
Emergency Department or directly to our outpatient
burn clinic. Services provided in the outpatient
clinic include burn assessment, dressing changes,
physical and occupational therapy evaluations,
and scar management.
The Division of Trauma and Burn Surgery also is
committed to injury prevention. We collaborate
with local agencies and community organizations
to provide families with information on topics such
as pedestrian safety and scald burn prevention. For
more details or to schedule an event, contact our
Injury Prevention and Outreach Coordinator at
202-476-4090.
Emergency Communication Information Center
(ECIC) provides 24-hour communication to
community emergency and primary care providers
to arrange consultation and/or transport to
Children’s National.

The Division of Urology at Children’s National is
the area’s largest and most experienced group of
physicians trained especially to treat children with
illnesses of the genitourinary tract. Children’s
National pediatric urologists have more than 100
years of combined experience in the diagnosis and
treatment of all genitourinary disorders in infants,
children adolescents. This includes genital
reconstruction, surgical repair of congenital and
acquired urinary tract abnormalities, daytime and
nighttime wetting, urinary tract infections, and other
disorders, and deformities. Phone consultations from
physicians are encouraged.
To reduce the number of trips for the family,
radiographic and soniographic evaluation will be
arranged whenever possible for the date of
consultation. If imaging studies and/or urine
cultures have been done previously, they should
be sent with the patient on the initial visit. Please
include all urine culture results.
