In early 2023, St. Louis Children’s Hospital launched the country’s first-ever mobile pediatric diabetes unit. The Healthy Kids Express Diabetes Mobile Unit now travels to schools, where Washington University Physicians provide care to diabetic children while educating them on how to manage their condition. The mobile unit’s team trains school nurses to administer insulin shots and glucose monitoring machines to support children in the classroom. St. Louis’s diabetes mobile unit is also helping to overcome socioeconomic barriers by delivering care to children in low-income areas who may have limited access to healthcare and healthy foods. As diabetes continues to be one of the most common chronic diseases among children, this traveling unit is incredibly essential. The Healthy Kids Express Diabetes Mobile Unit will continue to bring necessary and accessible diabetic care to children across northern St. Louis County. This unit was made possible thanks to generous donations to the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation.
