Support Groups and Classes for Pediatric Patients and Families

University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital works closely with communities of families who face similar challenges based on the demands of a particular disease or condition. 

Several support groups for patients and families meet regularly at UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and in the surrounding area.

You are invited to seek out the support of others who may share concerns similar to yours by attending a support group meeting.

Some patients and families elect to use on-line support groups.
