Meet this week’s Husky Hero, Max! 💜

Just six months ago, eleven-year-old Max from Sunnyside, WA, was diagnosed with cancer. After months of treatment, we’re thrilled to share that he is now cancer-free! 🎉

A huge fan of soccer and football, Max and his family got a special behind-the-scenes tour today with UW Football and even had the chance to run plays with the team!

Be sure to check out Homs Collective, who created these awesome custom sweatshirts, with proceeds supporting childhood cancer research.

Help us wish the Huskies good luck tomorrow as they take on Penn State at the Homecoming game! 💜💛 homscollective.com

For decades, type 1 diabetes care has focused on managing the disease after diagnosis. Today, that paradigm is beginning to shift. Through the Early T1D Program, Dr. Millie Nandi-Munshi and Elena Martinez, PA-C are helping connect at-risk patients to a therapy that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes, giving young people and their families more time before taking on the daily challenges of disease management.
