\"logo<\/em>Chapel Hill, NC, October 27, 2022 \u00a0\u2013 UNC Medical Center – Chronic Pancreatitis and Autologous Islet Cell Transplant Program<\/a> has been nationally recognized as an approved NPF Center by the National Pancreas Foundation. NPF Centers are awarded after a rigorous audit review to determine that an institutions focus is on multidisciplinary treatment of pancreatitis, treating the \u201cwhole patient\u201d with a focus on the best possible outcomes and an improved quality of life.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored that the UNC Medical Center – Chronic Pancreatitis and Autologous Islet Cell Transplant has been designated as NPF Center for treatment of pancreatitis,\u201d said Dr. Chirag S. Desai<\/a>, director of the program.\u00a0 \u201cHaving the NPF Center designation will help distinguish our program. This is very significant since it validates our specialty program and will enhance the program\u2019s access to patients through their portal as well as partnership with ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to expand our NPF Centers of Excellence Program to better serve the needs of patients suffering from pancreas disease,\u201d said David Bakelman, CEO of the National Pancreas Foundation.\u00a0 \u201cThe NPF Centers of Excellence Program is one of the pillars of NPF, and we are looking forward to working with our current and new Centers.\u201d<\/p>\n

An approved NPF Center has to meet the criteria that were developed by a task force made up of invited subject matter experts and patient advocates. The criteria includes having the required expert physician specialties such as pancreas surgeons, gastroenterologists and interventional radiologists, along with more patient focused programs such as a pain management service, psychosocial support and more.<\/p>\n
