Our mission - to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. 20.8 million Americans with diabetes need your time and skill. Make a difference in their lives by becoming a volunteer! Whether it's supporting diabetes research, information or advocacy, the American Diabetes Association needs YOU.
Description:
Cure. Care. Commitment. It's who we are. It's what we do. Your American Diabetes Association is the only national organization supporting all people with diabetes: people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, children and adults. We help those who care for people with diabetes: parents, families, friends, employers.
All of us at the American Diabetes Association want a cure for diabetes, because we know firsthand the devastation it can bring - diabetes kills more people each year than AIDS and breast cancer combined.
The mission of the American Diabetes Association is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. To accomplish this mission, we fund pioneering research; provide education, outreach and other services to people with diabetes, their families, health care professionals and the public; urge lawmakers to support critical funding for diabetes research and programs; and disseminate the latest scientific findings to people with diabetes and the general public.
History:
Founded in 1940, the American Diabetes Association is the nation's leading voluntary health organization concerned with diabetes and its complications. The American Diabetes Association conducts programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, reaching more than 800 communities.
