University of Florida Health Shands Children’s Hospital’s diabetes and endocrinology program is now ranked among the nation’s top 10 by U.S. News & World Report. It is the highest ranking ever for the program, which is joined in the standings by three other UF Health pediatric medical specialties, according to the 2023-24 Best Children’s Hospital rankings.
The diabetes and endocrinology program’s historically high ranking stems from an intense, long-term commitment to caring for patients and advancing research, said Michael J. Haller, MD, the division chief of pediatric endocrinology.
Some of the division’s accomplishments include a more than 30-year history of federal research support to develop therapies aimed at preventing and reversing Type 1 diabetes, efforts to improve glycemic control through increased use of continuous blood glucose monitors and insulin pumps, and a long track record of state and national advocacy.
