Clinical Care
Overview
Soo Hyun Kwon, MD, specializes in neonatal-perinatal medicine, focusing on the care of newborns, particularly those who are premature or have complex medical needs.
As an associate professor of pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Kwon is involved in the Neonatal Transport Program, which ensures safe and efficient transfer of newborns requiring specialized care. She also works with the NICU Great Results After Discharge (GRAD) Program, a follow-up program for infants and young children at risk for medical and/or developmental difficulties due to conditions faced in the newborn period.
Dr. Kwon received her medical training from Jefferson Medical College. She completed her residency in pediatrics at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children and pursued a fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at Yale School of Medicine.
