Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

Carlino Family Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center

The Carlino Family IBD Center at Penn State Health is dedicated solely to Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons sharing one clinic so several services can happen in a single visit. A dedicated IBD nurse navigator takes new patients' history and referral details and matches them to a specialist. Paediatric IBD is covered too, with a transition clinic for teenagers moving to adult care.
