As many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diabetes is an exploding problem approaching epidemic status in our society. The best way to manage diabetes and the medical costs associated with treatment is through education. The Chester County Hospital is proud to offer the most comprehensive Diabetes Self Management Program in our region. Unfortunately, as the number of our friends and families diagnosed with diabetes is on the rise, charitable funding for this important initiative becomes scarcer.

The annual Parkway Dash 4 Diabetes 5K Run/ 2.5K Walk is a fun and healthy family event and a major source of funding for the program. Every runner, every walker, every volunteer makes a difference.

Make a Difference. Don’t Become A Statistic.
