The Pheo Para Center of Excellence program provides an environment where patients receive the best possible pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) care through a geographically diverse network of clinical centers.

In addition to clinical and wellness services, the centers provide professional and lay education in the areas they serve, work with the Pheo Para Alliance in its efforts to continually improve the lives of those affected by the illness, and support clinical research efforts.

The program offers two designations.

The Clinical Center of Excellence (CCE) designation recognizes centers that provide high-quality, multi-disciplinary care and facilitate PPGL research.

The Clinical and Research Center of Excellence (CRCE) designation recognizes centers that provide high-quality, multi-disciplinary care, same as the CCE designation, but also have a comprehensive PPGL research program.

Program Objectives
  1. Increase access to multi-disciplinary, coordinated clinical care for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of PPGL patients and their families.
  2. Educate newly diagnosed patients and their families.
  3. Educate health care professionals.
  4. Support PPGL research.

To all interested centers: please ensure you are answering all questions to the best of your knowledge and verify answers are correct before submitting the application.  Collecting answers may take time and require speaking with various members of your multi-disciplinary team.  During the application process, members of the Pheo Para Alliance Medical Advisory Board will ask in-depth questions about your center.  Spending time verifying answers ahead of time will ensure an efficient application, review and approval process.
