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.

Our skilled team provides care for a wide range of conditions and needs, including diabetes, thyroid disease, hormone therapy, polycystic ovarian syndrome and osteoporosis. We work closely with you and your primary care provider to help you live a better life.
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.
