OUR MISSION

With the growing epidemic of diabetes and obesity in the United States, our Institute was founded in the quest to achieve the following:

  • Reduce diabetes and obesity incidence nationally through education, treatment and prevention.
  • Conduct and share groundbreaking clinical trials and research.
  • Find a cure for diabetes and obesity.
  • Address healthcare disparities in underserved populations.

 

With Mississippi at the center of the diabetes and obesity epidemic, having over a third of its residents diagnosed with diabetes, prediabetes and/or obesity, Tradition, Mississippi was selected as the site for this state-of-art research institute.

The National Diabetes & Obesity Research Institute (NDORI) is a central element of the 150-acre Learning Medical City at Tradition, located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
