Meet The Team
The Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia team at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, in collaboration with Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, specializes in the management of CDH starting with the fetal or neonatal diagnosis, pregnancy management, delivery care coordination, neonatal and childhood care, and long term follow up care continuing sometimes well into adolescence. The affiliated team consists of obstetricians, maternal fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, pediatricians, pediatric sub-specialists, nutritionists, nurse practitioners / physician assistants, nurses, and medical assistants.
