When a patient is diagnosed with a thyroid problem, it can affect every aspect of a person's life. Even though almost all thyroid conditions are curable, they can cause temporary difficulties and often require lifelong monitoring. Hoping to alleviate similar frustration in others, Kelly has set up a patient education program at Johns Hopkins where patients and families with concerns can receive information. Listed below is a description of the variety of services Kelly's program offers.
Education pamphlets Many educational pamphlets are available upon request.
These materials are written by health care professionals that specialize in thyroid disease. Since a variety of topics on thyroid dysfunction are available, let us know what topics are of interest to you. Below you will find a list of the brochures that are available by mail or through our patient education cabinets at The Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center and Green Spring Station locations. If you would like to receive these educational materials by mail, send us your name and address, indicating the pamphlets you would like to receive. Please allow us 4-6 weeks for delivery.
