Dr. Ann Guillot, a retired pediatric nephrologist at the University of Vermont Children's Hospital, has been named recipient of the Henry Barnett Award by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the largest professional association of pediatricians in the United States. The award recognizes pediatric nephrologists who have demonstrated outstanding teaching and clinical care for children with kidney disease.
Guillot served as the first and only pediatric nephrologist at UVM Children’s Hospital for more than 25 years. She is the primary architect of the regional system of kidney care serving pediatric patients and families in Vermont and northern New York.
“First and foremost, Ann has always cared really intensely and deeply about her patients,” said Dr. Sarah Twichell, a pediatric nephrologist at UVM Children’s Hospital. “She has a profound understanding of what it means to live in a rural area and incredible dedication to making sure children have access to excellent kidney care — whether that’s general care or dialysis and transplant services.”
