Senate Appropriations Committee Hosts JDRF Children's Congress

Hearing

Date: July 11, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Minors and Children Health and Health Care

"The Special Diabetes Program supports life-changing research for millions of kids and people across our country with Type 1 Diabetes, and it was such an honor to hear from this year's delegates to the Children's Congress about why this program matters so much. I'm also grateful to Vice Chair Collins for helping make today's hearing a reality. She was such a leader in ensuring we reauthorized this program a few years back--and is a tireless champion on this issue as Co-Chair of the Diabetes Caucus along with Senator Shaheen. Here in Congress, we need to be making things easier for kids with Type 1 Diabetes, giving people hope, and showing we are serious about producing new breakthroughs--and I know that with the incredible advocates we heard from today, we are going to keep making progress, keep investing in life-changing research, and eventually find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes."
