The Penn State Health Approach to Digestive Health

The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Penn State Health offers the latest approaches to diagnose and treat digestive health conditions. For patients and providers struggling with these disorders, we are here to help you.

As part of the only tertiary care, academic medical center in central Pennsylvania, we provide the latest treatments, supported by advanced translational and clinical research and medical innovation. We have high level expertise managing a wide range of digestive disorders, including cancers of the gastrointestinal system, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver disease, motility disorders, pancreatic disorders and more.

We use the most effective, least invasive and safest approaches to help you feel better as quickly as possible. We also work closely with pediatric gastroenterologists, surgeons, body imaging specialists, nutritionists, psychiatrists and a variety of other expert specialists to deliver thoughtful, well-coordinated and effective care.
