The JDRF Western PA Chapter invites you to join us for the TypeOneNation Summit presented by the Allegheny Health Network Center for Diabetes. This event is an all-day educational summit where leading experts in research, technology, nutrition, and personal well-being join JDRF to present scientific updates, and practical information to the Type One Diabetes (T1D) community.

Admission to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and a lunch are included in your ticket.

Can you bring the kids? Absolutely! Children will be able to attend sessions or be dropped off at Kid's Zone (ages 4+) where they will be supervised by trained volunteers and a medical team. Children in Kid's Zone may have a chance to visit the Kid's Zoo and PPG Aquarium, and will always return to Lecture Hall when sessions finish.
