They provided care to the most vulnerable members of our community, both in the hospital and their offices.

What has always driven me, in every chapter of my life, is the belief that service means showing up when it matters most.

By: Dr. Gene DorioWhat if you knew drinking egg nog would not affect your blood sugar? What if you knew eating a salad increases your blood sugar 100 points? Would it be invaluable information to know how your body responds to certain foods? For several decades, we have used glucometers with a lancet to poke a small hole in your finger and analyze blood with a meter. This method has been accurate but has also been inconvenient and traumatic for the patient.
