Specialized care for pediatric rheumatic diseases

Children with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions like juvenile arthritis, lupus and other pediatric rheumatology diseases often begin care with a referral from their primary care doctor. Primary care doctors are key in noticing early signs and making sure children get the care they need.

Once referred, a personalized treatment plan is created for your child’s specific needs. Your primary care doctor stays involved throughout the process, helping coordinate follow-ups and supporting overall health. This team approach helps children stay active, grow strong and enjoy daily life while managing their condition.
