Digestive Disorders Center
The Digestive Disorders Center is a multidisciplinary resource with a comprehensive approach. We specialize in gender-based differences to meet the unique healthcare needs of women. The center is dedicated to the Womancare philosophy, where all women are placed directly at the center of their healthcare delivery system, enabling them to make informed and educated choices.
Our center collaborates with the Digestive Disorders Center of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), which is ranked among the top programs of its kind in 2007 by U.S. News & World Report. By combining these resources, the Digestive Disorders Center offers patients clinical trials using the latest therapies that are not available elsewhere in the region.
