Linda Snelling, MD, is Hasbro Children's Hospital's
chief of pediatric critical care and medical director of its pediatric intensive care unit. She has been at Hasbro for 8 years
and has been an intensivist for 12 years.
Hasbro has the area's only pediatric intensive care unit and
pediatric oncology program, as well as emergency and surgical
units specifically for pediatric patients. It provides care to
approximately 6,000 inpatients and 30,000 outpatients each year.
"I see all kinds of patients and circumstances,
significantly affect a critically ill child's survival, calm
and reassure parents and patients, and face challenges of all
sorts every day," Snelling says. She adds that because she
interacts with referring physicians she is constantly learning
new things about other pediatric specialties.
