UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital Nationally Ranked in Four Specialties

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.
