The importance of alignment between health care & social service orgs is a key lesson from the BTG: Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care initiative. Co-Directors Dr. Monica Peek & Marshall Chin discuss this critical area in the ADCES podcast, The Huddle.

So proud of Dr. Pratt! I just read the amazing story about him that STAT news ran last year. I remember when he was a medical student. Keep rising Dr. Pratt! Thrilled that your hard work in the community will get a boost with this leadership position. Kudos!
