The staff of the Endocrinology & Diabetes evaluates adult patients with endocrine abnormalities including growth failure, abnormal hair growth, and metabolic problems, as well as thyroid, parathyroid, diabetes, pancreatic, gonadal, pituitary, and adrenal diseases. We also evaluate and treat patients with osteoporosis, and other metabolic bone diseases, and help adult patients with diabetes manage the disease. Surgery to treat a particular endocrinology disease is performed by trained surgeons with the full support from a medical endocrinologist and Core Endocrine Laboratory and radiology services.

The Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism continues to pursue its multiple missions of research, education, and patient care with local and national recognition in each area. A national survey ranked Penn State’s Milton S. Hershey Medical Center’s Endocrinology Division among the top 100 in the country for management of glandular disorders and diabetes.
