Services of the OHSU Pituitary Unit
 The
Pituitary Unit at OHSU is designed to provide outstanding clinical
service in the initial diagnosis and subsequent management of patients
with pituitary disorders. The unit brings together decades of accumulated
expertise in the clinical, teaching and research realms as they
relate to the care of neuroendocrine/pituitary surgery patients.
The OHSU Pituitary Unit is organized so that consulting physicians
and patients can effectively access the multiple neuroendocrine
resources available at OHSU. Within this context of coordinated
clinical care, the Pituitary Unit has four objectives:
- To provide outstanding clinical care for patients with disorders of the pituitary gland
by coordinating the many pituitary disease resources available at
OHSU.
- To educate both patients and physicians on the appropriate
diagnosis and management of pituitary tumors and pituitary disease.
- To make the neuroendocrine resources at OHSU more easily accessible
to patients with pituitary disease and their referring physicians.
- To institute a patient/family support structure allowing the
dissemination of knowledge to patients and their families about
pituitary disease.
The OHSU Pituitary Unit is an organizational structure composed
of many pituitary disease related services. The links below will give a brief description
