North Bay Programs

When the Diabetes Society of Sonoma County closed its doors earlier this year, we were saddened to lose such a valuable community resource. The Diabetes Society, based in San Jose, will begin offering programs in the community immediately.

Below is the schedule of upcoming programs in the Sonoma County area. We will be adding to and expanding these programs in the coming year as the community need grows. We eagerly seek your input on the kinds of programs you would like to see offered in the community.

The Diabetes Society’s Sonoma County programs will be managed through our main office and we are happy to provide you with any additional resources we offer. If you’d like more information about the Diabetes Society please call our office at 1 (800) 989-1165 or email us at Info@diabetessociety.org. We are delighted that former Diabetes Society of Sonoma County executive director, Heidi Dressler, will be working with us to get our Sonoma County programs started and, as in the past, she will be happy to assist you with any information or services you may need. We are committed to providing the same high quality education and support in the North Bay that we have provided in the Santa Clara Valley for more than 40 years.

We look forward to meeting you and working with you as we continue to provide the very best in education and support for those at risk for and with diabetes. We sincerely encourage your input and welcome your suggestions.
