Personal Biography

Gigi Chawla, MD, MHA, pediatrician and hospitalist, is the chief of general pediatrics at Children's Minnesota with oversight over primary care, rehabilitation services, behavioral health, med/surg inpatient care, value-based care, and after hours triage care. She is often called upon by the media for her pediatric expertise and is a regular contributor for the Minnesota Parent's column and WCCO's segment to "Ask the Pediatrician." Her clinical areas of interest are the outpatient and inpatient care of complex special needs patients, premature infants, and ventilator dependent children. Dr. Chawla is also instrumental in advancing the organization's forward-looking efforts around population health and community engagement. Through internal efforts to better integrate school based care, primary care with behavioral health, social support services for families, as well as, external advocacy with government groups, she works to create an environment for child health that extends beyond the clinic. She's been consistently named to Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine's and Minnesota Monthly magazine's Top Doctors annual list.
