Our Plan for the Future
Our clinical and research programs have made us the fastest growing diabetes
center in California. Access to leading-edge research makes it possible
for us to apply new approaches to diabetes treatment. In the near-term,
our goal is to expand pathways of discoveries and to recruit additional
physician researchers. We will continue our tradition of quality patient
care while advancing research toward curing and preventing diabetes.
With your generosity, the center aims to become one of the nation’s
leading diabetes centers.
Until There’s a Cure… Members of the community have been
very supportive of our efforts to provide the best diabetes-related treatment available.
And it is with your generosity that we will continue to further our mission to find a
cure for diabetes. We hope you will join us in this quest. We welcome your
support .
