About Maine P-Pods

Who are we?

In 2012, a group of parents and providers worked together to create Maine P-PODS, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to help families of children with Type 1 diabetes. Our executive board consists of dedicated parents and professionals who are committed and passionate about meeting the ongoing needs of families who manage Type 1 diabetes to provide community, education, and respite.
