The Hallett Center is structured to integrate programs on diabetes and the full spectrum of endocrine disorders.
The center includes an outpatient facility that provides patients and referring physicians with access to endocrinologists and multiple other subspecialists, a patient education program and inpatient services, all of which are coordinated with the educational, clinical and basic research activities of the division of endocrinology.
