Reputation and trust are critical in health care, especially in pediatrics, which makes it highly rewarding to have many of our specialty programs recognized by national organizations. One recent example is the RWJBarnabas Health Pediatric Celiac Disease Center, located at the Ann Vogel Family Care and Wellness Center in Eatontown, the only such center offering multispecialty care in new Jersey, has been honored by The Society for the Study of Celiac Disease (SSCD) as part of its Celiac Disease Unit Recognition Program. This recognition affirms that the center has demonstrated a significant commitment to delivering quality celiac disease diagnosis and treatment. The RWJBarnabas Health Pediatric Celiac Disease Center is one of the only 10 centers in the U.S. with this designation.
According to SSCD, this recognition highlights not only the team’s deep commitment to advancing care for patients with celiac disease, but also the extraordinary leadership in clinical practice, research, education and advocacy. In granting this distinction, SSCD wrote: “From your robust quality improvement projects to your efforts in addressing food insecurity in pediatric populations, it is clear that your center embodies the highest standards of excellence in multidisciplinary celiac disease care.”
