OUR EXPERTISE

Best Children's Hospitals - Diabetes 2017-2018

Our mission at the Children’s Hospital of Montefiore is to improve the overall health and well-being of children with diabetes and endocrine disorders. As one of only three American Diabetes Association approved facilities in New York City, our Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes is equipped with the staff and tools to diagnose and treat Type 1 and Type 2 pediatric diabetes mellitus.

Every diagnosis begins with state-of-the-art clinical research, but the treatment only works because our nationally-recognized consultation services include each patient as a partner in their own care.
