Children's Diabetes and Endocrinology
Conditions and diseases associated with a child’s endocrine system are
often much different than their adult counterparts. Our Diabetes and
Endocrinology Program and pediatric endocrinologists are highly qualified
to treat diabetes and other pediatric conditions related to growth and development with
sensitivity and compassion. These experts are well versed in pediatric
hormonal conditions affecting growth and sexual development and
understand fully their impact on a child’s physical and emotional health.
Seamlessly connected to specialists in the community
Our endocrinologists are dedicated to their pediatric specialty and are
supported by a multidisciplinary team of more than 40 subspecialists.
Together, they provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for an
array of childhood conditions.

living with diabetes.
Camps
Diabetes summer camps are a great way for children with diabetes to learn
more about their disease, gain independence from their parents, meet other
children who have similar healthcare needs and simply have fun. Check back for dates of upcoming camps.
Community based events
Inova participates in community-based events throughout the year in
Northern Virginia and the DC metro area. Major events include walks
sponsored by the American Diabetes Association and Juvenile Diabetes
