Diabetes Update

Every year in November, we come together to call attention to diabetes. St. Luke’s has hosted Diabetes Update for over 25 years and our goal has not changed: educate and empower our community to reduce the burden of diabetes. At St Luke’s we take pride saying "Our Specialty is You." We stand by our mission and vision as a non-profit, faith-based community hospital engaging in local and national public health efforts to increase access to healthcare.
