Keep Colorado Kids with Diabetes Safe in School!

Colorado has over 3500 children living with diabetes including both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.  Federal laws such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protect the rights of children with disabilities, including diabetes,  to "receive the care they need to be safe and have the same educational apportunities" as all students do. 

Our Colorado Diabetes Resource Program has been in operation for over 18 years, and connects highly qualified school nurses and public health nurses to school districts throught Colorado to provide consultations, technical assistance, and resources to support standardized health services for children with diabetes in over 1900 schools.

Our mission is to ensure safe, evidence-based care for children with diabetes in Colorado school and child care settings. 

We ask that you consider financially partnering with us to continue our mission and support those children challenged by diabetes in our schools and child care settings. 

Thank you in advance for your commitment to our organization!
