Divisions

Given the extraordinary medical advances that have occurred in the past few years, HSS physicians are now poised to prevent many disorders, cure a significant portion of them, and universally improve the lives of patients who have rheumatic disease. Employing a multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach that is unique to this institution, you can be assured of the best and most up-to-date and caring treatment.

• Rheumatology
  World leaders providing the highest levels of care and research for the treatment of rheumatic disease.

Centers of Excellence

Our Centers of Excellence are multidisciplinary and innovative programs, established by our expert faculty with the goal of improving the lives of patients with chronic musculoskeletal, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Through their development of patient-oriented initiatives in quality of care, research and education, the Centers of Excellence enrich the clinical services offered by the hospital. The academic programs of the Centers of Excellence integrate the research advances of our scientists with the high level of care for patients seen at HSS.

• Lupus and APS Center of Excellence
  The Center centralizes patient care and research with the goal of improving the quality of life for all Lupus and Antiphospholipid Syndrome patients.
• Inflammatory Arthritis Center
  Through exceptional clinical care, research, and education, the mission of the IAC is to build a better future for patients with Inflammatory Arthritis.

We are committed to state-of-the-art on-going research which will advance the care of patients with rheumatic disease, now and in the future.

Clinical care and academic activities are organized around Centers of Excellence that coordinate medical management, research, and professional and patient education relevant to a specific disease area or rheumatic diseases of children.
