SOADI’s very own Shannon Van Every was invited to speak on June 7th, 2008, at the Third Congress of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies Conference in Toronto. The conference attracted over 3000 people from around the world involved in wound healing. The conference was a chance for the medical and scientific community to meet and discuss recent developments in wound care. The reason SOADI was invited is the keynote speaker and meeting chair Professor R. Gary Sibbald believes SOADI’s is a model program that other countries can emulate. He feels our approach of holistic healing and wellness at the grassroots level encourages prevention of diabetes, at the same time respecting our unique culture, is the future of diabetes prevention worldwide.
Shannon shared with the audience her experiences on the front lines of Aboriginal Diabetes prevention. She stressed how an Aboriginal Organization for Aboriginal Communities makes our people feel they are partners with us and how making healthy choices makes the entire community stronger.
Congratulations Shannon on a great job.
