Paige Church | Professional History

Dr. Church is a dual trained academic neonatologist and developmental behavioral pediatrician with expertise in the developmental care of infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), early identification of neurodevelopmental disabilities among preterm infants, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of children born preterm and those born with spina bifida. She is a graduate of the University of Vermont College of Medicine and completed pediatric residency at the University of Chicago.

Dr. Church was the first to complete dual training in neonatal-perinatal medicine and developmental behavioral pediatrics at Tufts University and is among a handful of individuals holding dual American Board of Pediatrics certification in both fields. Dr. Church's academic work focuses on the behavioral phenotype of the preterm child, implementation of early identification strategies, and disability in medicine. Dr. Church serves at the Director of the NICU Growth and Developmental Support Program (GraDS).

Paige Church | Publications

I am a neonatologist and developmental behavioral pediatrician specializing in the developmental care for children who start their lives in the NICU. I care for children and their families in the NICU and after they have left the NICU. I believe in the outcomes of fun, friends, fitness, healthy families, and futures. I believe in using the evidence in scientific literature to evaluate and identify areas of strengths and potential challenges for a child and/or family and to implement strategies to foster success.
