Why Project ECHO?

Pediatric diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity are on the rise. Primary care providers on the front lines of patient care want convenient and up-to-date learning opportunities in best practice medical care of complex conditions. ECHO's case-based and collegial learning format is the ideal program for this goal. Through Project ECHO, our providers can offer education and support for you in treating these conditions!
