We are celebrating National Health Center Week by featuring some of the talented people we’ve had the opportunity to partner with through our Quality Improvement Collaborative (T1DX-QI)! The growth of this work has been tremendous—with 50 participating endocrine clinics from across the U.S.

The progress of the T1DX-QI is fueled by top leaders in diabetes care and has become an engine of innovation and inspiration. By engaging with the shared, data-driven, and systematic methods of the T1DX-QI, participating clinics have seen unprecedented success in their ability to better serve the needs of their patients with type 1 diabetes.

Here, we’ve highlighted a few of the many diabetes experts involved in the T1DX-QI through our “Meet the Expert” series:
