Touchdown for
Diabetes, organized by Cole Community Solutions, is the primary source
of funding for The Borgess Diabetes Center. More than
$1,300,000 has been raised for diabetes research and patient care over
the years, and all proceeds now stay in the Greater Kalamazoo Area.

annual fundraiser "Touchdown for Diabetes" sponsored by the Cole

The Borgess Diabetes Center
provides physician clinical care and diabetes education for people with
diabetes who are uninsured, cannot afford to obtain regular medical
care, and live in the Greater Kalamazoo area. While many services are
offered to uninsured residents in the county, prior to the Diabetes
Center, dedicated diabetes care was not among them. The clinic
is housed within Borgess Health, lowering or eliminating facility and
equipment expenses. Here, quality service is provided to uninsured or
underinsured patients who would otherwise receive limited or no medical
treatment for their condition. Diabetes care in this physician-based
setting reduces the use of local emergency rooms for routine diabetes
treatment, and also reduces hospitalizations.

Center, available medical care, medicines, and/or education call
