As we begin the next phase of our reopening plan, we are thrilled to share that TypeOneNation Summit Reimagined is back and set to take place in-person THIS WEEK March 12th, 2022. You might be wondering what is “reimagined” about TypeOneNation, you might even be wondering, what is TypeOneNation Summit?

TypeOneNation Summit is our chapter’s biggest educational event of the year – an opportunity for T1D individuals and caregivers to come together to learn and support one another. This year, hear and learn from keynote speaker Dr. Shara Bialo, MD, Division of Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics-Nemours duPont on ‘Navigating the Highs and Lows’. Enjoy a breakout session from either Gary Scheiner, MS, CDES, or our Perspectives of T1D Panel. You will also have the opportunity to talk with our local and national sponsors and learn about products, resources, and support.

If you have attended TypeOneNation Summit in the past, it might look a little different as we work to incorporate COVID mitigation protocols. The size and scale of the event have been adjusted to prioritize safety and limit the risk of exposure for attendees. With that in mind, our capacity is limited so we encourage you to register today if you would like to attend. These sessions have been geared toward our newly diagnosed families, individuals, and caregivers, and no childcare will be provided at this time.
