Established by Joslin patient and former Board of Trustees member Charles “Charlie” Downer, the Charles Webster Downer Professorship in Ophthalmology honors incumbent Lloyd Paul Aiello, MD, PhD, Director of the Beetham Eye Institute, and his family’s legacy of improving outcomes for those with diabetic eye disease.
The team at Joslin Diabetes Center understands that a diabetes diagnosis is a life-changing event for both children and their families, and they are there every step of the way, helping patients lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
The Asian American Diabetes Initiative, pioneered by Joslin and its supportive community members, strives to enhance quality of life and health outcomes for Asian Americans living with diabetes, and its prevention through research, education, outreach, and culturally responsive treatment.
