Patient Care

The Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism delivers expert care for a wide range of hormonal and metabolic conditions, including diabetes, obesity, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, and rare endocrine disorders. As demand for endocrine services continues to grow, we’ve expanded access across Western Pennsylvania with more providers, new outpatient sites, and telemedicine outreach to rural areas.

With care that consistently exceeds national standards set by the Endocrine Society and American Diabetes Association (ADA), our faculty offer both inpatient and outpatient at UPMC hospitals and community-based clinics. We also lead several system-wide initiatives to improve diabetes outcomes, including inpatient glycemic management programs, one of the largest ADA-recognized diabetes education networks in the U.S., and a registry of over 185,000 patients to inform personalized care and large-scale quality improvement. Our specialized programs support patients with thyroid cancer, obesity, pituitary and adrenal disease, cystic fibrosis-related endocrine issues, and complex lipid disorders with same-day diagnostic testing and remote services to improve convenience and access.

Our multidisciplinary approach, commitment to innovation, and focus on personalized care allow us to provide high-quality, accessible treatment across the region. Whether through in-person visits or virtual care, the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism ensures comprehensive support for patients at every stage of their endocrine health journey.
