• Are you feeling discouraged because your suggestions for improvement aren’t acknowledged?  
• Do you run into barriers when you try to implement change? 
• Are you ready to see your ideas come to light?

Join us to get inspired by diabetes champions.

Everyone is invited to hear the stories of women luminaries, who have taken risks, challenged the status-quo and were able to turn their ideas into action against the odds.

Learn from national diabetes health care leaders and mentors as they share their efforts to improve care. 

Get ready to be inspired!  You will hear the steps they took to overcome barriers, envision delivery of care from a new perspective and shift the diabetes landscape for the better.

Invite your colleagues to join this conference, designed to create new possibilities to improve diabetes across the care continuum.

It’s time to see your ideas come to light!
