Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition

The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition provides care throughout our region of Vermont and upstate New York to children and adolescents for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas, as well as problems with feeding, nutrition and growth, obesity, and lipid disorders. We are involved in many local, regional, national, and international education, research, quality, and clinical care endeavors. Michael D’Amico, M.D., heads the Healthy Living Program, a weight management clinic for overweight children and adolescents. He co-directs the Pediatric AeroDigestive Program and works with the Pediatric Spina Bifida Program. Jill Sullivan, M.D., combines clinical practice with research in pediatric cystic fibrosis and inflammatory bowel disease. She co-directs the Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Program and is site leader for ImproveCareNow, an international, multicentered, collaborative chronic care network for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in children and adolescents. This award-winning program, founded and directed by Richard Colletti, M.D., is considered one of the premier quality improvement initiatives nationally. Nina Gluchowski, M.D., heads the division’s educational activities and provides excellent clinical talent and research expertise in congenital diarrhea. Our exemplary nursing staff remains involved in high-quality clinical care and nursing education, particularly with the Vermont School Nurses Association
