The pioneering Joslin team approach to care emphasizes the collaboration of many skilled professionals to ensure the best result for adults and children with diabetes. Care emphasizes preventing or managing the multiple effects of the disease.
Team members work with patients, families and private physicians to develop a personal plan of treatment to meet a patient's unique needs.
