After weeks of the votes coming in for whom should be recognized as American Diabetes Wholesale’s Diabetes Educator of the Year 2008, the three finalists have been announced:

• Suzanne Laws
• Joyce Malaskovitz
• Laurie Terrio

American Diabetes Wholesale would like to thank everyone out there who took the time to nominate a diabetes educator and vote for the final contestants, including the finalist runner-ups, Linda Aman and Janet Crockrel. It is crucial to recognize the efforts of diabetes educators all over the country, and our goal is to raise awareness of the contributions that these health professionals make as well as the positive impact they have upon the lives of their patients.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the winner at a special ceremony on May 1, 2009 in Boca Raton, Florida.
