Our mission at the Children’s Hospital of Montefiore is to improve the overall health and well-being of children with diabetes and endocrine disorders. As one of only three American Diabetes Association approved facilities in New York City, our Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes is equipped with the staff and tools to diagnose and treat Type 1 and Type 2 pediatric diabetes mellitus.

Every diagnosis begins with state-of-the-art clinical research, but the treatment only works because our nationally-recognized consultation services include each patient as a partner in their own care.

“By setting goals, establishing a support system and evaluating outcomes, CHAM's patients, parents and caregivers work as a team to ensure a child's condition is kept under control and they are enjoying the best possible quality of life.”

Laurie E. Cohen, MD
