The mission of the Children’s Growth Foundation is to promote the best care possible for children, adolescents and adults who have a wide range of chronic endocrine and sexual development disorders and concerns and to educate health care professionals, educators, law enforcement officials, and the general public. The model of care for these children and their families is based on a team approach,
which includes the family, mental health professionals, medical specialists, and educators. One of the ways the Children's Growth Foundation supports families is by providing them with as much education and information as possible. Our team includes a psychologist and two licensed mental health professionals who specialize in the field of endocrine disorders and sexual developmental concerns. The Children's Growth Foundation also provides opportunities to socialize and network with other families going through similar experiences. We strive to ensure that no child who is a patient of the Pediatric Endocrinology clinic of UBMD Pediatrics and Oishei Children's Hospital ever goes without essential care. BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
