Better, Diabetes Care, Cure Sought

Roundtable discussion centers around how a cross-sector diabetes initiative could be launched and developed.

On October 27, 2008, 21 participants from 13 organizations representing the government, business, and non-profit sectors convened in Washington, DC, for a Diabetes Thought Leader Roundtable Discussion.  This meeting was sponsored by the Center for Health Transformation (CHT) and Booz Allen Hamilton and provided an opportunity for thought leaders from across public, private, and civil sectors to share perspectives on some of the most challenging issues surrounding diabetes and to identify which issue areas would be best addressed through a collaborative, cross-sector initiative.

The Roundtable objectives were as follows:

• Identify priority shared challenges and opportunities regarding Type II diabetes
• Identify other leaders who should be included in this initiative in order to make meaningful progress against the identified priority challenges and opportunities
• Confirm interest in participating in a highly collaborative leadership Summit in 2009 to address these priority challenges and opportunities
