Our HHT center includes Massachusetts General Hospital, MassGeneral Hospital for Children, and Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary.  This collaboration allows us to provide specialized care across the lifespan.

The Mass General HHT Center offers diagnosis, genetic counseling, multidisciplinary evaluations, and care coordination for people with this common (1/5000) genetic condition.  Our team works with a person’s primary-care provider to identify specialty care needs to improve outcomes.  We strive to create an “HHT medical home” while offering a wide range of specialists, treatments and education for the patient and their family.
