Clinical Services
The Henry Silver, MD, PhD, Pediatric Endocrine and Growth Center provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for children with disorders of growth, puberty, thyroid function, adrenal function, calcium and phosphorus metabolism (including rickets), osteoporosis and many other endocrine-related disorders. More than 4,000 visits to the Center are made by children from an eight-state surrounding area each year. The Center is located at The Children's Hospital (TCH).
In recent years, outreach clinics have been established in eight cities, serving the needs of children in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
Collaborative clinical programs with other subspecialty departments at TCH are in place to provide endocrine support for children who have had bone marrow transplantation, brain tumors, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, asthma and a variety of metabolic and genetic disorders, including glycogen storage disease, hypoglycemia, Turner syndrome and chronic renal disease.
