Public Accommodation

As you may know, the mission of the American Diabetes Association is to prevent and cure diabetes while at the same time taking action to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. In keeping with that mission, our goal is to eliminate discrimination against people with diabetes. The Association works hard to achieve this goal in a variety of ways that range from developing educational materials for individuals to involvement in litigation.
