UAB named HHT Center of Excellence

Cure HHT is excited to announce that The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is now certified as an HHT Center of Excellence — providing expert, comprehensive care for HHT patients. UAB is currently accepting new patients, and welcomes your inquiries!

Recognition as an HHT CoE follows an application process and 18 months of training, mentor, center communications and site visits from the Cure HHT team. Only hospitals equipped with the proper personnel, expertise, commitment and resources to provide comprehensive evaluation, treatment and education to individuals with HHT and their families receive this designation.

Under the guidance of co-Directors Drs. Jesse Jones and Theresa Caridi, the specialties that support care through the UAB COE include ENT, cardiology, gastrointestinal/ hepatology, genetics, interventional radiology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, and pulmonology.

To learn more about the new center, please visit the UAB website.

“We are honored to be named a Center of Excellence by Cure HHT and look forward to continue providing coordinated and compassionate subspecialty care for Alabamians with HHT as well as patients in the surrounding region.”  – Jesse Jones, MD
