Hassenfeld Children's Hospital at NYU Langone in New York City has recruited three renowned specialists in pediatric hepatology to establish a pediatric liver disease and transplant program.
Nadia Ovchinsky, MD; Jennifer Vittorio, MD; and Debora Kogan-Liberman, MD, joined the hospital to establish the program, which aims to bolster specialized care for children with acute and chronic liver disease. Dr. Vittorio will serve as program's medical director.
Prior to joining NYU Langone, the team worked in the pediatric liver program at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx borough of New York City.
"We are delighted to have this outstanding team of experts at Hassenfeld Children's Hospital to offer families the best medical and surgical therapies for their children with liver disease" Catherine Manno, MD, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at NYU Langone Health, said in an April 27 news release.
"Drs. Ovchinsky, Vittorio and Kogan-Liberman's dedication to the field of pediatric hepatology and liver transplant will further enhance Hassenfeld Children's Hospital's position to become one of the leading centers in treating liver disorders in children."
