Advanced Nutrition

Welcome to Stanford’s Pediatric Advanced Nutrition program, a destination site for children with complex & common nutrition challenges. We are dedicated to helping children grow, develop, and achieve their dreams through excellence in nutrition support. Our approach integrates evidence-based & family-centered medical care, preeminent research & technology, and multidisciplinary consultation.

We are also proud to be an academic medical center on the West coast with our own tertiary care, academic home health pharmacy with compounding of home parenteral nutrition and delivery & management of enteral nutrition and supplies on-site. The Children’s Home Pharmacy has been integrated throughout our care system since 1992.

Clinical areas of focus include evaluation and management of congenital onset diarrhea and enteropathy, intestinal rehabilitation, home parenteral nutrition support, enteral tube feeding, obesity medicine, blenderized feeding, & intestinal transplantation. We also provide expert consultation for a wide variety of nutrition problems in patients with cardiac, oncologic, and neurologic disease and manage and utilize surgically & endoscopically placed gastrostomy feeding tubes.

We look forward to partnering with your family and care team to provide the highest level of nutrition support possible.
