KidsFACT is a nonprofit support group created by GI for Kids, PLLC for those diagnosed with pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and their family members. The group’s mission statement is below: Mission Statement KidsFACT is dedicated to making strides towards an improved quality of life for those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (includes both Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) and to advancing knowledge in order to contribute to better treatments and ultimately a cure. KidsFACT supports and promotes these endeavors through education, family support, and research. Over the years, our practice has been seeing more and more patients from Tennessee and the surrounding states with IBD, making our center one of the largest IBD clinics in the nation and especially in our geographic location. As the number of children we treat with IBD has continued to grow, we thought it was imperative to establish a support group for those patients and families that deal with the disease daily. Therefore, Dr. Al-Tawil created a non-profit organization, KidsFACT (Kids Fighting Against Crohn’s and Colitis Together), for this purpose. Feel free to join the discussion forum (link located on this website), where helpful advice and support from others with IBD is available. You may also post new information relevant to IBD for others to view, such as new treatments, research findings, and medical technologies. To obtain further information concerning IBD, please visit our clinic’s website: giforkids.com. Monday August 30th The 7th Annual Jordanne Clabo Fight Against Crohn's Golf Tournament. Hosted at Three Ridges Golf Course Knoxville, Tennessee. Tee off time 8:00am. For more information please call 865-357-8622. |
