I am delighted to welcome you to the website for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Vermont (UVM) College of Medicine in conjunction with Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care. Our mission is to provide the highest quality pediatric care possible while maximizing our educational and research efforts in ways that will make a difference for the children and families we serve. We do this by forming unique and effective partnerships and programs with individuals and communities throughout Vermont, upstate New York, as well as in other parts of our country and the world -- all focused on improving outcomes in child health.

This website contains current information that will help you become more familiar with all the people, programs, and services that allow us to optimize our patient care, education and research efforts. We hope you enjoy learning about our Department and welcome your questions and comments.
