Physician Liaison 

Connecting community physicians with Blank Children's Hospital

The Physician Liaison Program is designed to connect physicians, their staffs and members of the community with our providers, specialists and services. Our physician liaisons serve as a personal contact for physicians, practice managers and community members.  Our program offers information and assistance in addition to addressing questions, concerns or issues. Our goal is to create a positive, open and helpful relationship with Blank Children's Hospital, the medical staff and community physicians.

Some of our offerings include: 

• Physician Lectures: Physicians from Blank Children's Hospital are available to lecture on a variety of neonatal and pediatric health and safety topics. Presentations can cover a wide array of topics - from neonatal respiratory distress and pediatric critical care to robot-assisted surgery and sudden infant death syndrome. 

• Clinic Visits: Our physician liaison is available to visit your clinic to provide information regarding accessing care at Blank Children's Hospital. Schedule your clinic visit.   

• For Providers Section: Please check out our information specifically For Providers on our website. Here you will find information about our providers, services and continuing education.
