Hormones play a major role in how we develop and grow, regulate sugar, metabolize food and so much more. The endocrine system, which includes the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland and pancreas, uses these hormones to "communicate" with the body. The Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology & Diabetes offers comprehensive services in the general area of endocrine and metabolic disorders, including:
- Diabetes and diabetes complications
- Abnormalities in body weight
- Osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease
- Abnormalities in calcium regulation
- Diseases of the thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands
In addition, we have several multidisciplinary clinics that offer specific, endocrine-related services, such as:
