Olivia C. Remillard, APRN

Olivia Remillard, APRN specializes in pediatric gastroenterology and sees patients at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Specialty Centers. She has a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and emerging therapies that improve long-term disease management and quality of life for patients.

Olivia says, “I chose to specialize in pediatrics because caring for children has always felt innate to me - it is truly my niche. I worked as a pediatric intensive care unit nurse for 10 years, caring for medically complex and critically ill children. That experience strengthened my clinical skills and confirmed that pediatrics was the right path for me. During nurse practitioner school, I worked per diem as an infusion nurse in a pediatric GI clinic, caring for children with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Seeing their resilience and strength while navigating a chronic illness confirmed that I wanted to continue in pediatrics, and more specifically, in pediatric gastroenterology. I enjoy working with children and their families because of the individuality each patient brings. Every child comes from a unique background with different beliefs, experiences, and strengths. I value the opportunity to meet patients at various stages of their lives.”

Olivia Remillard earned her Doctorate of Nursing Practice as a family nurse practitioner at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.
