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:
- Can diabetes be cured? Through ground-breaking clinical trials and research, we’re ready to prevent and treat diabetes.
- How to prevent diabetes? Using education, treatment and prevention we will reduce diabetes incidence nationally.
- What causes diabetes? we will address the healthcare disparities in underserved populations that contribute to diabetes and obesity.
- Do I have diabetes? Nine out of 10 Americans know someone who has diabetes, or are personally dealing with this disease.
- How to cure diabetes? Through groundbreaking research, technological developments, open sharing of information and increased education and access to healthcare, the National Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute’s (NDORI) goal of hoping to find a cure for diabetes is achievable.
The visionaries behind the development of the Institute have made it their mission to create the best diabetes and obesity research facility in the United States to not only help cure one of Mississippi’s most prevalent health issues, but to hopefully solve the problem on national and international levels.
