DTreat - Great Success East and West in 2010, Three Programs Planned for 2011
DECA's young adult program, DTreat was held at two locations this year, thanks to a grant from the Medtronic Foundation and additional funding from Abbott Diabetes Care. Young adults gathered to discuss important issues facing this vulnerable population including health insurance, relationships, diabetes management & new technologies, pregnancy & sexuality issues, alcohol, and finding a diabetes care provider. Most importantly, the participants and DLead team, formed lasting relationships that will be maintained through the DTreat Facebook page. Visit it today and become part of the DTreat group!
DTreat East was held at Northeastern U. Boston, May 28 - 30, 2010. DTreat West was held at UC Berkeley San Francisco Bay Area, June 4 - 6, 2010.
DTreat programs will be held in 2011 at Carelton University in Ottawa Canada, May 6-8; University of South Florida, July 1-3 and Camp Red Cliffe, near Salt Lake City, August 26-28, 2011.
DTReat Ottawa is generously funded through a grant by Medtronic Canada.
