Diabetes in School Health – Montana (DiSH-MT)

Thanks to the Leona M and Harry B Helmsley Charitable Trust, we’re honored to bring this program to Montana to best support our state’s school health personnel in their pursuit of education and resources to best care for students with diabetes. From October through May, we are hosting monthly DiSH-MT educational sessions on topics determined by input provided by local school health personnel. Each session will feature a 10-20 minute presentation followed by an open discussion and idea sharing session to foster community and support among participants.
