Support the Institute

Nearly 400,000 Central Floridians have been diagnosed with diabetes or are at risk of developing the debilitating disease.  In response to this growing epidemic, Florida Hospital Diabetes Institute is constructing a new home that will enable clinicians to better meet the growing demand for expert and professional diabetes care.  The new facility, scheduled to open in late 2010, will feature expanded state of the art clinical, educational and research areas and will dramatically enhance patient care and outcomes.  The 22,000 square foot facility is much more than exam rooms, educational suites and research areas.  It will be a place where patients can better manage their diabetes and avoid the often life-threatening complications.  It will be a place where people living with diabetes and their families can learn practical ways to better manage their disease and enjoy a rich quality of life.  Most of it, it will be a place where our friends and neighbors develop healthy lifestyles that will stem the tide of a growing national health epidemic - diabetes!
