This is Great Plains Diabetes

Our mission is to provide innovative care and resources for individuals, families, and communities affected by diabetes. To do that, we provide state of the art diabetes treatment options, offer disease management specifically tailored to each individual’s unique needs, and dedicate our practice to helping individuals, families, and communities live well with diabetes. Great Plains Diabetes Research, Inc, is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization founded and incorporated in 1984 by Drs. Guthrie, Hume, and Nesmith to promote professional and patient diabetes education and support Kansas diabetes researchers.

In September of 2014, the clinic was opened under the directions of Belinda Childs, APRN, BC-ADM, CDCES. In May of 2023, Jennifer Sebes, DNP joined the practice, Nerlyn Cooper, DNP joined in March of 2024 and Erika Schrandt, FNP-C joined April of 2024.

Dr. Guthrie was Lindy’s collaborating physician until his death in 2020 when Rami Mortada, MD assumed that role. State law no longer requires advanced practice nurses to have collaborative agreements, but Dr. Mortada remains available for collaboration. His practice, Endocrine Center of Kansas leases space on Wednesday afternoons for his west side clinic at Great Plains Diabetes.

Great Plains Diabetes has offered diabetes education since opening and received the prestigious certification by the American Diabetes Association as a Recognized Education program in December of 2022. We provide expert diabetes care for all including those that are uninsured and under insured. Many specialty clinics limited the number of Medicare, Medicaid, uninsured that will be seen in their clinics.

More than just a clinic, today Great Plains Diabetes and its volunteers host a wide range of educational and inspirational events for both healthcare professionals and the general public including public education programs, work place programs, and a day camp for children.
