Members of the Edward Smith Mineola Lions Club recently gathered in support of the Diabetes Education Center at
Winthrop-University Hospital where they presented two charitable donations totaling $12,000. A pledge payment in the
amount of $10,000 was directed to Winthrop’s Pre-
Diabetes Intervention Program – a unique program
designed to promote lifestyle changes among those
with pre-diabetes and stem the rise in type 2 diabetes;
a separate $2,000 donation will support the
Center’s Kids Interested in Diabetes (KIDS) Program
– an interactive educational program designed to
teach children ages seven to 12 about diabetes
through games and activities.
The Edward Smith Mineola Lions Club is an ardent
supporter of efforts that help prevent and treat diabetes
and its devastating side effects such as blindness.
Over the years, the Mineola Lions Club has been committed in its support of the Diabetes Education Center through numerous
donations including a $100,000 pledge in 2007 which funded the creation of the innovative Pre-Diabetes Program at Winthrop.
Celebrating its 30th year of service to the community, the Diabetes Education Center at Winthrop recently received its
fourth consecutive reaccreditation from the American Diabetes Association. For more information on the Diabetes
Education Center and its comprehensive programs, please call (516) 663-2350.
