OUR MISSION:
Diabetes Association of Greater Cleveland's mission is to improve the lives of people affected by diabetes by leading the Northeast Ohio community in its prevention, management and cure.
Diabetes Association of Greater Cleveland is a local and independent nonprofit organization, not affiliated with the American Diabetes Association or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Our Values
Since 1954, the Diabetes Association of Greater Cleveland (DAGC) has served Northeast Ohio as the primary source of education, research and advocacy for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. As a local and independent organization, not affiliated with any national group, DAGC is fighting the growing diabetes epidemic within its own community. All funds raised by DAGC are put to work in northeast Ohio:
* To support Diabetes Research at local medical institutions
* To provide Diabetes Education to those affected by diabetes,
* To promote diabetes prevention through community awareness and Risk Assessments,
* To advocate in Consumer Issues affecting people who have diabetes,
* To provide Health Care Professionals with the latest information about diabetes management, and
* To support Camp Ho Mita Koda and other programs for children with diabetes and their families.
Our services are as varied as each individual’s needs. Office hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. DAGC’s professional staff includes 4 diabetes educators (including a nurse, two dietitians, and a dietetic technician) who are available to answer your questions.
DAGC is proud to be a United Way Services agency.
Membership in DAGC is one way to support its programs and services and to receive special member benefits, like Aronoff Library and Resource Center check-out and "books by mail" privileges.
Other support for DAGC programs and services comes from generous individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations through Contributions, grants, and participation in fundraising events, including the citywide Verizon Wireless Swim for Diabetes, the Promenade gala event, and Golf Outings.
Others have honored DAGC by becoming members of its Endowment Society through making planned gifts as part of their estate planning.
