Analise Hagstrom

RN, MSN, CPNP-PC

Board certified pediatric nurse practitioner with 18 years of comprehensive experience in neonatal and pediatric healthcare, including:

  • Critical care
  • Cardiology
  • Primary care
  • Gastroenterology and Nutrition4

I have worked at two major academic medical institutions, Stanford Children’s Medicine and Rush University Medical Center, from 2007-2025.

I have a deep interest and specialized expertise in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, focusing on feeding difficulty for infants and children. I strive to support families through critically formative stages of life by addressing feeding challenges, digestive health, and obstacles to optimal growth.  I also have extensive experience with infants and children with feeding tubes, I work to wean them so that they, too, can enjoy eating!

My advanced clinical training complements a commitment to compassionate, family- centered care, providing an emotional and spiritual presence that honors both evidence based science and the soul of caregiving.  In my experience, babies and children thrive when their mothers/parents are supported; nurturing this early, fundamental bond is a powerful step towards raising a child who enjoys feeding and builds resilience and strength from the beginning of life.
