I am a neonatologist in Northwestern's and Lurie Children's Neonatology program. We provide comprehensive fetal and neonatal care for infants and their families. My interests focus on the care and outcomes for infants cared for in regional NICUs. These infants often suffer from acquired morbidities related to preterm birth and/or birth anomalies requiring multi-disciplinary subspecialty care.

With the Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium, we are describing and understanding the care and outcomes that are currently achieved in order to improve these children's clinical outcomes both at Northwestern/Lurie, but also throughout the neonatal intensive care community at large.
