MPMA Supports the American Diabetes Association

MPMA announces their support of the American Diabetes Association with a yearlong sponsorship.

One of the main goals of the MPMA is to educate the public (especially those with diabetes) on foot care to prevent unnecessary complications.  Working alongside the ADA, MPMA members will come in direct contact with those that truly benefit from their advice and expertise.

MPMA will support the ADA’s public events with educational material and member physicians on-site advice.  The largest of these events include:

Tour de Cure: Bike Ride
Saturday, June 9
Brighton High School in Brighton

Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes
Saturday, September 15
Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak

MPMA members are encouraged to volunteer their time at these events and to form bike and walking teams.  Individual offices may wish to promote these events and the MPMA support to patients.  Promotional materials are available.  Contact Chris Morrisroe (Link to cmorrisroe@comcast.net)

 1.  May ask for ADA brochures for patients
 2.  Promote the Tour and Walk with brochures and posters – encourage patients to form teams
 3.  Join the MPMA team to ride or walk at the events
 4.  Volunteer to be on site at ADA and MPMA events
