Under the leadership of CoE Director Ali Ataya, M.D., the specialties that support care through the UF Health HHT Center of Excellence include ENT, cardiology, gastrointestinal/hepatology, genetics, interventional radiology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, and pulmonology.
“We are thrilled that HHT multidisciplinary care will now be a reality in Florida and the surrounding areas. Dr. Ataya has organized a team of specialists at University of Florida Health who are both passionate and knowledgeable in the treatment of this disease. We are excited about this new collaboration, as a center in Florida has been long needed, and to take another important step toward making specialized care more accessible to more patients around the world.” – Marianne Clancy, Executive Director, Cure HHT
