Located in the heart of the Diabetes Research Institute, the Eleanor and Joseph Kosow Diabetes Treatment Center provides comprehensive medical treatment and diabetes education to individuals and families living with the disease.
The Esformes Family Pavilion houses the diabetes education programs. An expert team of diabetes educators, nutrition specialists and physicians conduct a variety of individual and group programs with a common focus: to empower those with diabetes to manage their care.
As a result, individuals with diabetes are able to:
- Improve diabetes control
- Self-manage an individualized treatment plan and lifestyle
- Become leaders of their own health care team
- Increase flexibility in their everyday lives
To help educate fellow health care providers on the latest advancements in diabetes research and patient care, the DRI also conducts and hosts advanced, comprehensive professional diabetes education courses covering a range of topics from islet transplantation to intensive diabetes management.
