The New York Diabetes Coalition is a unique collaboration of volunteer representatives from health plans, professional medical societies, state and local departments of health, community based organizations, quality improvement agencies, healthcare providers and diabetes care vendors to improve the health of people who live with diabetes. The New York State Podiatric Medical Association represents over 80% of the Empire State’s podiatrists.
“Part of NYSPMA’s mission is to educate patients and healthcare providers about the importance of proper foot care in the treatment of diabetes,” Dr. Pinker remarks. “Our hope is to share our expertise with the team of experts serving on this board,” he adds.
