Thanking Dr. Wolf and Portland Diabetes and Endocrinology Center, PC

Dr. Fawn Wolf and the other providers in her practice, Portland Diabetes and Endocrinology Center, PC, have seen several patients referred by Project Access NOW for the past two years.

As a clinical endocrinologist, Dr. Wolf treats adult diabetes patients as well as people with adrenal, pituitary and thyroid disorders. She appreciates that Project Access NOW reviews each patient’s medical case before referring them to her. This helps ensure that they come to her with distinct, known endocrine disorders, so she can best determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

She recalls seeing a young male patient in his 30’s, referred by Project Access NOW, whose symptoms pointed to a pituitary tumor. Once the diagnosis was confirmed, treatment required expensive medications and growth hormones. The patient was able to receive these through Project Access NOW’s Pharmacy Bridge and Medication Assistance Programs and he was quickly on his way to better health.

Dr. Wolf is motivated to participate in Project Access NOW because it is an efficient and easy way to donate her time. The paperwork and logistics are taken out of her hands, leaving her free to care for the patients.

She says, “It has been very enjoyable and rewarding. The process is seamless and is a good use of my time.”
