OUR EXPERTISE

The Ira Greifer Children's Kidney Center at CHAM is one of the nation’s largest, most experienced and innovative facilities dedicated to caring for children with kidney problems.

We performed one of the first pediatric kidney transplants in history. We’re proud to say that many of the infants and children who received transplants at CHAM are now living healthy and productive adult lives. We were the first dedicated pediatric dialysis facility in New York State.

Our three-tiered mission involves:

    • Caring for patients, their families, and our community with a high degree of excellence.
    • Educating physicians, patients, and families about the management and treatment of kidney disorders.
    • Advancing knowledge about kidney disease by researching and pioneering new treatments.

Specialists from all areas of CHAM including surgeons, urologists, other pediatric specialists, nurses, child life specialists, social workers and nutritionists comprise this family-centered, multidisciplinary team.

We have a rich history of leadership and pioneering research efforts in pediatric nephrology which continues to date with our current faculty. Our groundbreaking research, extensive resources, and highly skilled staff put us in the top 25 hospitals in the country for pediatric kidney treatment.
