We are a Teaching Hospital

Comprehensive Care, Teamwork, Applied Research.

A unique resource in the province, Endocrine Surgery at St. Paul's Hospital provides complete care for British Columbians with all kinds of thyroid and parathyroid diseases. The services at St. Paul's include a variety of diagnostic services and of course, a full spectrum of treatment and care, including surgery.

The endocrine surgeons, residents and nurses work as a team, sharing information and forming care plans tailored to each patient. We work closely with medical cancer specialists at the BC Cancer Agency to provide state-of-the-art care for patients with endocrine tumours or cancer. Furthermore, we collaborate with endocrinologists at St. Paul's Hospital and throughout British Columbia to provide optimal treatment for patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease.

In addition, St. Paul's Hospital is a large general hospital that offers the support of a critical care department and emergency services. Thanks to the concentration of endocrine surgeons - and their participation in world-class research - our centre offers many cutting edge technologies, such as radio-guided surgery, intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement and other incision-sparing surgical techniques.

St. Paul's Hospital is one of the very few centres in the province where specific complex head and neck endocrine procedures are performed and is an important referral centre and resource for all British Columbians.
