Leading to Improve the Digestive Health for Children through their Transition into Young Adulthood Life
Millions of children and young adults are living with digestive and nutritional disorders. The NASPGHAN Foundation was founded to advance the treatment and management of these conditions.
About the Foundation
Mission: The NASPGHAN Foundation funds and supports the professional and patient education and research missions of NASPGHAN.
The NASPGHAN Foundation was founded by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN), a professional society of more than 2,800 pediatric gastroenterologists, to promote awareness and research of pediatric digestive and nutritional disorders, including constipation, celiac disease and gluten intolerance, eosinophilic esophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition and obesity, reflux and GERD, liver pancreatic and other disorders.
The NASPGHAN Foundation promotes research, education, and awareness of these and other conditions. We create patient education materials for families and children. We develop educational materials for medical professionals including slide sets, webinars, monographs, web based education modules and a variety of other tools which aid practitioners in the care of children with digestive disorders. We invite you to explore the Professional Resources section of this website as well as GIKids.org and Digestive Topics A-Z for patient education materials.
If you are a health care professional, please consult our research and medical professional resources. If you are a parent or patient explore GIKids, which is our site where you can learn more about pediatric digestive disorders.
