The clinical activities of our division are carried out across four locations spanning the metro area. More than 4,000 patient visits occur annually at these sites. Children are seen for rheumatology evaluations at all four outpatient specialty clinics. Children with rheumatic disease or issues with immunodsyregulation are cared for by an experienced team of physicians, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse coordinators.

The care and evaluation of our patients is supported by a state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratory which includes all available serologic and cellular testing for rheumatic diseases and immunodeficiencies. In addition to outpatient evaluations, rheumatology inpatients are cared for by a dedicated rheumatology service at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and consultations are provided for complex patients admitted from a variety of other services.
A weekly divisional clinical conference is held to review patient management and care from the outpatient clinics and inpatient consults. In addition, the division has close working interactions with the adult rheumatology program in the Department of Medicine, including a shared weekly Grand Rounds and a combined weekly Translational Research Conference.
