The Unique Experience of a New Multidisciplinary Program for 22q Deletion and Duplication Syndromes in a Community Hospital in Florida: A Reaffirmation That Multidisciplinary Care Is Essential for Best Outcomes in These Patients

description | In 2018, the first 22q11.2 multidisciplinary program in the state of Florida was created at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital following the new paradigm for best care of 22q11.2 deletion patients. Since inauguration, the clinic flourished despite challenges. Our 22q clinic has 149 patients ranging from ages 0–21. From that total, 138 are 22q11.2DS: 74 females and 64 males (44% Hispanics, 35% Caucasians, 11% African American, 3% Asian and 7% multiracial). Eleven patients are in the 22q11.2 duplication group; 7 females and 4 males (50% Hispanics, 30% Caucasians 10% Asian and 10% multiracial). Our multidisciplinary team has grown to include twelve different specialties to better serve our growing patient population and has adapted to the pandemic by offering virtual clinics. Although there are many 22q multidisciplinary clinics worldwide, our clinic has special characteristics. We have an ethnically diverse group of patients and a large team of mostly bilingual providers who are passionate about and have expertise on 22q Deletion/Duplication Syndromes. Our 22q clinic is based at a community hospital and counts on the partnership of local 22q patient support groups. The program is also unique in that it is now expanding to care for adult 22q patients. Our clinic is another live example of how multidisciplinary care is the best way to achieve the most optimal outcomes in 22q patients, and that if there is a passionate and dedicated team of providers willing to collaborate for these patients, a 22q multidisciplinary program can thrive, succeed and grow at a community hospital. |
