Diabetes Youth Services (DYS) knows diabetes is a community disease, meaning not just primary caretakers are impacted when a child is diagnosed. DYS is excited to announce a new program for school nurses meant to provide a place to relax and discuss tips and tricks when working with a child with diabetes. Participants will also hear from experts on things like:
DYS plans to hold support meetings on a quarterly basis in Ohio and Michigan. Meetings are supplemented with the School Nurse Conference in Toledo each August where nurses can earn CE Credits and learn more about diabetes in the classroom in a more formal atmosphere.
Note: Because we have several people talking in the same room at once, we only offer this group in person. Due to high demand, we have created additional meeting opportunities for Michigan staff.
Our next Michigan meeting is scheduled for: Thursday Novmeber 16, 2023 at 4PM | Canton Administration Building- 1150 S Canton Center, Canton MI 48188
Our next Ohio meeting is scheduled for: Thursday November 30, 2023 at 4PM | Mary Ellen Falzone Diabetes Center- 2100 W Central Ave Toledo, OH 43606
