The Diabetes Coalition of Massachusetts (DCOM) hosts two statewide meetings each year. These
meetings are conveniently located to accommodate the diverse geography of the DCOM membership.
The Spring statewide meetings center around DCOM's Programs of Excellence. Every year, the
Diabetes Coalition of Massachusetts recognizes outstanding programs that contribute to the field of
diabetes prevention, education and management throughout the Commonwealth.
The Fall meetings focus on bringing excellent keynote speakers and offering attendees CEC/CEU
credits. Each fall, the theme varies to reflect important issues of interest to professionals working with
diabetes. Many of the Fall meetings also offer breakout sessions and workshops for the attendees.
