SDRI’s Legacy of Type 2 Diabetes Education:
Bridging Gaps, Empowering Communities
SDRI’s legacy of health education traces back to the pioneering efforts of Dr. Sansum, who in 1922, organized groundbreaking classes for all his patients with diabetes, setting the foundation for our comprehensive education and outreach programs. Today, our education programs are delivered by certified diabetes educators and community health workers who are passionate about making a positive impact in the diabetes community. Our team provides personalized guidance and resources to help individuals manage their diabetes effectively.
