The Digestive Health Institute is a network of highly trained doctors and surgeons who treat disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, as well as the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. As it becomes increasingly complex to treat digestive diseases and GI cancer, optimizing care relies more on the close collaboration of experts from across disciplines.
