Dr. Jeanne Marie (Gina) Baffa is a pediatric cardiologist with 26 years of experience. She attended medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, completed pediatric residency training at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and completed pediatric cardiology fellowship training at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. For the past 21 years, she has been working at the Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, where she served as Director of Echocardiography. She... also served as Director of the Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship training program, mentoring the next generation of pediatric cardiologists. She retired from Nemours in December 2018 but continues to teach at Nemours and to participate in research. A MESSAGE FROM DR. BAFFA: What I'm Passionate About I am passionate about helping children, teens and young adults with heart issues. I enjoy helping parents fully understand their child’s heart condition, often drawing diagrams to help explain the heart anatomy and blood flow. It is just as important for me to spend time with my teen and young adult patients to educate them about their heart condition and to empower them to be involved in their own health care. I believe strongly that physical activity and a healthy diet, rich in whole fruits and vegetables, is the best medicine. I am an avid practitioner of yoga and a certified yoga instructor. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Devyani Chowdhury and her dedicated team, who demonstrate a deep commitment to providing superior care for their patients. #pediatriccardiology #cardiologycareforchildren #drginabaffa #drdevyanichowdhury
