At University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital, Fairview, we treat patients who have diagnoses encompassing all aspects of endocrinology, including those with concerns about growth, puberty and reproductive function, hypopituitarism, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal problems, calcium and bone disorders and fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Each year, more than 1,300 patients visit our general Endocrinology Clinic.

Hundreds of children and adolescents receive care through our Pediatric Diabetes Program. The physicians, nurses, dietitians and psychologists who form the diabetes team strive to create an environment of collaboration between patients, families and health care professionals. We provide medical instruction on diabetes, problem-solving skills and self-management, to promote a balanced, flexible, healthy style of living with diabetes. Whenever possible, we avoid hospitalization. We have a vigorous research program and are the upper Midwest regional center for Trialnet studies of diabetes prevention.

We also offer specialty care through the Center for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Gonadal Development Disorders, the Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes Clinic, and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinic.
