Mission

Our Commitment to Mission

With the challenging mission of preventing diabetes and its complications through a coordinated multi-disciplinary approach to health promotion, patient education, professional training, treatment and research, the Florida Hospital Diabetes Institute represents one of the largest and most comprehensive centers completely dedicated to diabetes.

Patient education is one of the most powerful weapons in battling disease. Educational facilities provide the setting for learning techniques of diabetes self-management, from blood glucose monitoring to a healthy diet and exercise. In addition to the many facets of its nationally recognized American Diabetes Association patient education programs, the Florida Hospital Diabetes Institute also offers advanced learning opportunities and training programs for health care professionals.

Board-certified endocrinologists provide outpatient medical evaluation and treatment of diabetes and other endocrine disorders through care that addresses a wide range of individual needs and complications. Through skillful work, the physicians practice more than medicine. They seek to diminish suffering, accelerate healing and restore health.

The Fitness Center addresses not just the disease, but the lifestyle of the patient. Patients learn to incorporate healthy activities to modify behavior and prevent the progression of diabetes and its complications.

The research team offers the promise of a tomorrow where prevention and research breakthroughs assure healthier, happier, more fulfilling lives for thousands of men and women facing diabetes.

Directed and staffed by nationally recognized specialists and equipped with the most advanced medical technology and facilities, the new Florida Hospital Diabetes Institute is designed to provide an unsurpassed continuum of care for patients with diabetes and to seek a cure for this debilitating disease through ongoing research.

Hand in hand we hold the future of our families and our community with the promise of a better tomorrow. This is our commitment and this is our future.
