About the study
The goal of this study is to address surgical health equity in historically marginalized participants with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The main questions that this study aims to answer are, how does patient navigation impact:
* The proportion of PHPT participants undergo parathyroidectomy? * The proportion of PHPT participants who complete surgical consultation? * Time to surgical consultation? * Time to surgery?
