Multidisciplinary Care for Children with Chronic Disabilities

The Function Clinic at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein provides compassionate and individualized care for children with a wide range of disabilities.

Montefiore Einstein established the Function Clinic within the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein 10 years ago to better serve children, teens, and young adults with chronic disabilities. The Function Clinic brings together a multidisciplinary team of internationally recognized specialists from Montefiore Einstein Urology, Orthopedic Surgery, Neurosurgery and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, who work collaboratively to develop comprehensive and personalized treatment plans for children and young adults. This comprehensive model of care is applied to all disabilities resulting in neuromuscular, skeletal and urological dysfunction or anomalies. Conveniently located in an easily accessible, mobility-friendly facility, our clinic offers a wide range of the most advanced interventions and support services under one roof, eliminating the need to make multiple office visits to see various specialists. 

Our Function Clinic team combines surgical and medical excellence with a deep understanding of the unique needs of each patient and family, focusing on their holistic life experiences. We are committed to minimizing a disability’s impact on daily function, to optimizing care, fostering independence and enhancing overall quality of life while providing support to caregivers. 

Committed to empowering our patients, our team of experts not only specializes in managing the diverse and complex needs of patients and families, but also provides the necessary information, resources and assistance needed to help individuals and their families grow and thrive. Our Function Clinic team begins by assessing the individual’s condition, answering any questions that arise and discussing treatment options, all in a single visit, ensuring an efficient and coordinated care process. 

The Function Clinic operates in a streamlined manner to enhance patient convenience. Morning clinic visits allow for comprehensive assessments, followed by select urologic procedures, including urodynamic testing and cystoscopy, which are performed in the afternoons on a different floor of the same building. This efficient model minimizes the need for multiple visits while ensuring timely and coordinated care.

The Function Clinic is located at our Montefiore Einstein Hutchinson Campus, 1250 Waters Place. Bronx, New York 10461. For more information on how we can support you or your loved one, please call 844-438-3862 or visit cham.org/function.
