The Endocrinology division at CHA focuses on the body’s glands and the hormones they produce. Your glands (thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, ovaries, etc.) control many body functions like hunger, blood sugar and reproduction.

Expert Endocrinology Care

Doctor treating a patientOur skilled team provides care for a wide range of conditions and needs, including diabetes, thyroid disease, hormone therapy, polycystic ovarian syndrome and osteoporosis. 

A Team Effort

Managing endocrine disorders is a team effort. Patients are usually referred by their primary care doctor, to help treat and manage their condition or need.

We work closely with your other providers, including dietitians, physical therapists and surgeons. We will be informed, so you know what to expect at every step in your care.

Diabetes Support

Your doctor may refer you to a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). These nurses provide specialized education and help people better manage their diabetes. They help patients develop goals to best optimize their health care and health outcomes. A CDCES receives training in all aspects of diabetes treatment including insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, telehealth, medication and nutrition.
