Research
Our staff also is committed to ongoing research to improve the care of children with diabetes. The Max McGee National Research Center for Juvenile Diabetes was created in November 1998 to help find a cure for diabetes. Former Green Bay Packer Max McGee and his wife, Denise, pledged $1 million to launch funding efforts for the research center. Make a donation.
