Pediatrics

HSS is world renowned as a pediatric authority in the care and treatment of children with rheumatologic, orthopedic, and musculoskeletal conditions and problems.

Rheumatologic conditions and autoimmune diseases that affect adults can affect children. But children's growing bodies - and the hormone development of adolescents and teens - create special "kid only" health issues. At HSS, some of the world's finest Pediatric Rheumatologists have helped set the standards for treating Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Pediatric Orthopedists at HSS see rare and complex musculoskeletal conditions as well as "everyday" injuries that befall otherwise healthy kids. So while, every year, children with the most severe conditions are flown from across America and around the globe to HSS for treatment; techniques developed in treating these unusual situations have been adapted to bring advanced care to every kids' injuries.
