The Pediatric Thrombosis Program at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL combines the expertise of All Children's Hospital and Johns Hopkins Medicine to help children who have developed a blood clot in the veins (venous thrombosis) or arteries (arterial thrombosis). The program extends from inpatient to outpatient care, consultation, and access to the latest research developments in treatment via leadership and participation in clinical trials.
The program is directed by Dr. Neil Goldenberg, who was recruited by ACH and Johns Hopkins University in 2012 from one of the top pediatric blood clotting programs internationally, the Mountain States Regional Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center at Children's Hospital Colorado, to lead the pediatric thrombosis programs at ACH and the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. The physician team also includes Dr. Irmel Ayala, who has led the All Children's bleeding and clotting disorder clinics at the main hospital in St. Petersburg and the subspecialty clinic in Tampa for over a decade. The ACH program provides a variety of services for pediatric thrombosis patients and their families in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary setting.

ACH President and Physician-in-Chief Jonathan Ellen, M.D. presented the annual All Children's Hospital Quality Improvement Awards at a brief ceremony on Friday, March 1.
"The efforts we are celebrating today were designed, led and implemented by employees dedicated to doing the best for our patients and families," said Dr. Ellen. "They required teamwork, coordination, measurable objectives and a willingness to challenge the conventional way of doing things. They show that our employees are willing to ask important questions about how we can do things better, propose a solution, and be willing to adjust their thinking when data suggest a different approach."
He added, "As we pursue our Pathway to the Top we will put even greater focus on Quality and Patient Safety. These will be the key elements of our bright future-when we are doing our very best in this area it will impact every part of that Pathway."
