🎙️ Just wrapped up an amazing podcast episode with Dr. Colleen Buggs-Saxton, a true community champion! As an endocrinologist at Wayne Pediatrics, Dr. Buggs work goes beyond medical care she and her team are dedicated to supporting families through seasonal coat drives, free diabetes screenings, and community focused events. 💪🏽🩺
When I asked her what inspired this level of involvement, she shared her passion for helping Detroit families thrive. Wayne Pediatrics' community programs, like coat drives and diabetes testing, are about more than providing healthcare; they're about meeting people where they are and creating access to essential resources. These initiatives make a real impact, helping families feel supported and empowered in their diabetes journey.
