Comprehensive Care for Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
What is the POI Center?
The POI Center was established in 2016 at Cincinnati Children’s. It is a multidisciplinary clinic for adolescents and young adults with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).
We aim to provide information to help you or your child understand a POI diagnosis. We offer comprehensive care for disease management and in partnership with the Turner Syndrome Center and other specialists, we offer an integrated approach for your care.
We serve our families and patients to provide:
- Initial diagnosis and assessment
- Comprehensive, interdisciplinary care, with close communication among specialists in making treatment plans
- Education and empowerment of patients and families to receive the best holistic care possible with optimal short- and long-term outcomes
