Specialty Care Services

The Specialty Care Clinics at COA are dedicated to delivering advanced, multidisciplinary medical care for children with complex, chronic, rare health conditions. Each clinic specializes in a specific area of pediatric medicine—such as orthopedics, oncology, neurology, endocrinology, pulmonology, and others—and is staffed by pediatric subspecialists, skilled nurses, and allied health professionals. These clinics provide comprehensive and coordinated care, integrating state-of-the-art diagnostics, cutting-edge treatments, and family-centered support. Patients benefit from services that go beyond those offered in general settings, including access to clinical trials, genetic counseling, and long-term disease management programs.
