Our mission is to provide innovative care and resources for individuals, families, and communities affected by diabetes.
To do that, we provide state of 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 by Belinda Childs, APRN with Dr. Guthrie as her collaborating physician. In 2018, Amanda Ast, APRN, NP-C joined GPD. Following Dr. Guthrie’s death in June, 2020, Rami Mortada, MD became GPD’s collaborating physician.
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.
