Nephrology Fellowship Graduate Founds Clinic to Ease Patients Into Adult Care

Navigating young adulthood is especially difficult for kids with chronic medical conditions, but a new clinic at Children’s Hospital Colorado is dedicated to easing the journey. Shrey Purohit, MD, is leading this transitions clinic, a safe space to help former pediatric nephrology patients ease into adult care. He’s one of the first fellows to graduate from the Meds-Peds Nephrology Fellowship at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. With training in both adult and pediatric nephrology, Dr. Purohit will see patients at Children’s Colorado as they begin to transition into adult care and at UCHealth, where they’ll continue their journey.

“I get to take young people and help them through to the point where they can start to become successful adults,” says Dr. Purohit. “To give them tools to take away that sense of helplessness is gratifying.”
