Description
Greetings from Louisville! On the first Saturday in May, I had the unforgettable experience of attending my first Kentucky Derby. The energy of the city and the excitement at the track were truly incredible—it’s a celebration like no other.
Our Pediatric GI Division is growing rapidly. We will soon include 6 physicians and 4 nurse practitioners, with approval to hire up to 3 additional faculty in 2026. Our goal is to add 12 to 15 faculty within the next 3 to 5 years.

We are actively recruiting faculty to help develop general GI and subspecialty programs in:
- Motility
