Pediatric Diabetes Patients Enjoy a Family Fun Day at the Bronx Zoo
September 28, 2022
Patients who receive care from Montefiore Einstein’s pediatric endocrinology and diabetes providers enjoyed an activity-filled day at the Bronx Zoo during Family Fun Day 2022 on August 2. Hosted by the Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Division at Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM), the day included engaging educational activities for young patients and their families.
Fun activities—mask decorating, stations for selfie-taking, coloring and decorating their wearable medical devices—were available to patients and their families. They also took time to explore the zoo and hear inspiring messages from Laurie E. Cohen, MD, Chief, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes, CHAM patient Beyonca Blanco and NASCAR driver Ryan Reed, who has Type 1 diabetes and spoke about achieving success while managing the condition.
