The Pediatric Orthopaedic Service is working in close collaboration with the MassGeneral Hospital for Children to develop and expand the specialized orthopaedic care and treatment for MGH's youngest patients. The short-term goal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Service is to provide comprehensive continuous care to the ever-growing number of pediatric patients referred to our Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital from within the Partners HealthCare System, from the Boston Shriner's Hospital for Children and other area institutions. This includes providing coverage to MassGeneral Hospital for Children's Emergency Rooms at Newton Wellesley Hospital, the North Shore Children's Hospital and establishing satellite offices which will provide pediatric orthopaedic care in the communities surrounding Boston. A new satellite office will be opening in the near future at the Newton Wellesley Hospital. On an institutional wide-level, the Pediatric Orthopaedic Service works in close collaboration with Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Medicine Service and the MGH Health Centers to provide coordinated high quality care for our pediatric orthopaedic patients.
