We are Celebrating DiabetesEd Specialist Scholarship Recipients
We are so excited to announce our DiabetesEd Specialist Scholarship Recipients!
We received dozens of applications for our annual Making a Difference Scholarship and the Flower Scholarship gifted from an anonymous donor! It was a great personal joy for our team to read these scholarship applications. Each applicant is serving communities with a great need and going “above and beyond” to promote and provide accessible diabetes care and education. It is always a very difficult decision for all of the judges, and we read each application in careful detail considering the financial need, impact, volunteerism, and readiness to take the CDCES exam.
We greatly appreciate the good work of all the applicants and thank them for their service!
This year we are offered 3 Scholarship Options for our Virtual DiabetesEd Specialist Conference, October 6-8, 2021.
Congratulations Chantel Wade, his year’s Flower Scholarship Recipient!
Chantel Wade is the recipient of our “Flower Scholarship.” Chantel is an ambulatory RN and the lead in the Patient Education Department at her local health center. There she serves a diverse population of individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds, seeing many people who are on Medicare, Medi-Cal or are uninsured. She uses a hands-on, interactive approach with those she works with; she is committed to meeting people where they are by creating custom care plans that meet their individual needs. Outside of work, she is active in her local Fellowship Church and other organizations where she volunteers her time and expertise to offer pre-diabetes and diabetes education.
Congratulations Keira McCrary, “Making a Difference Exemplar Scholarship” Recipient!
Keira McCrary is the recipient of our “Making a Difference Exemplar Scholarship” because of her dedication to her community. Keira works as a Registered Dietician who provides direct care services to Native American tribal communities in her area. In her work, she supports people living with diabetes through all stages of life with programs such as home meal delivery for elder tribal members and the Native Youth Preventing Diabetes Organization. Through Native Youth Preventing Diabetes Organization Keira assists in the education of tribal youth in the areas of diabetes prevention, nutritional education, physical activity, behavioral health, and more. She also creates user-friendly tools for those she works with such as informational “how-to” diabetes-friendly recipe videos and a weekly newsletter.
Congratulations Logan Mumphrey, “Making a Difference Scholarship” Recipient!
Logan Mumphrey is our second recipient of our “Making a Difference Scholarship” for many reasons! Logan is currently working towards his MSN/FNP and has worked as the primary nurse and clinical coordinator for transgender health services helping to build the program from the ground up. This program provides gender-affirming care that goes beyond hormone therapy including care navigation, surgery coordination, assistance with identity document changes, peer support, and much more. Logan is passionate about diabetes care and education and hopes that by becoming a CDCES, it will allow him to provide more support for those he works with so they can manage their diabetes with a gender-affirming lens.
