Diabetes Education and Consultation
A Multidisciplinary Care Team
Diabetes education is available for children and their families on an inpatient or an outpatient basis through certified diabetes educators who have specialized in pediatrics. The program offers:
- Individualized education for children and families
- Comprehensive group classes
- Brief, age-specific programs
- Phone consultations available for families, school nurses and other care providers.
Mary Bridge diabetes educators also coordinate services with community resources and direct support groups, such as Families Accepting and Dealing with Diabetes. Contact the clinic for upcoming support group dates and locations.
The multidisciplinary care team includes pediatric trained staff, including nurse educators and dieticians who are certified diabetes educators, endocrinologists, pharmacists, psychologists and social workers.
Specialty Care Close to Home
In addition to the services offered at our Tacoma Health Center, our team makes regular visits at our specialty clinics in Olympia, Puyallup and Silverdale, so that children can get outpatient care closer to home.
