WELCOME!
It is my privilege to serve as Chief for the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Hypertension. While our medical specialty is not new, our section was redeveloped in 2007. We are continuing to grow our discipline and expand our partnerships and collaborations as the fields of medicine become increasingly intertwined.
We hope this website will assist you in learning more about the services we offer in caring for your health, teaching and training future endocrinologists, and researching potential causes and cures for diabetes and its complications.
As endocrinologists and researchers, we face growing challenges in understanding the complexities and origins of disease, working toward its prevention, early identification, and treatment.
We welcome your inquiries, and look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Craig Stump, MD, PhD
Division Chief
