Pediatric care gets a boost

CMU Health is proud to announce the addition of Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist Amr Omar, MD, board-certified Pediatric Nephrologist Kathleen Rochefort, MD, and welcome back board-certified Pediatric Endocrinologist Lourdes Morales-Dopico, MD, to CMU Health Women & Children’s Center.

“For over a decade, families in our region have had to travel outside of the area to access this level of specialized pediatric care,” said President and CEO, Samuel Shaheen, MD. “Thanks to the partnership with Covenant Children’s Hospital and the successful recruitment of pediatric subspecialists, CMU Health is now able to meet these critical health care needs locally.”

CMU Health Women and Children’s Center offers specialized pediatric care through its expert team including, Mary Moore, MD, in pediatric rheumatology, and Brian Woodruff, MD, and Steven Ross, CPNP, in pediatric neurology. To further complement its growing network, the following pediatricians will be added to the regional pediatric specialty center.
