History
From our inception in 1984 through
2001, DYS operated as a sponsored activity of Mercy Health
Partners, a nonprofit health system serving northwest Ohio.
Budget restrictions reduced the ability of our original
sponsor to underwrite our operating expenses and in 2001, DYS
became an independent nonprofit social service agency. Through
this transition, careful planning allowed DYS to maintain its
core programs, respond to emerging needs, and sustain services
for the most significant impact on children with diabetes now
and for their future. DYS has emerged as an effective organization
serving 19 counties in Ohio and Michigan.
Today, we are incorporated as a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization with three full-time staff members.
We are currently located in Maumee, Ohio and continue to serve
all of northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan as the main provider
of services for youth with diabetes. All dollars are raised
and invested locally into the youth of our community.
