When you think of medical research, do you picture scientists in high-tech labs, wearing white coats? If so, you may be missing the big picture.

Hi, I’m Dr. Griffin Rodgers, bringing you Healthy Moments from the NIH. I’m the Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Our Institute uses study findings to keep you, your family, and the health care community current about important health information. Working with teams of experts, we translate these findings into information you can use.

Take a look at our National Diabetes Education Program, our National Kidney Disease Education Program, and our Weight-Control Information Network. They offer free facts about health problems and identify resources that you can use now, including tools to raise awareness within your family and community.

And for information, visit our website at NIDDK or MyMajicDC.com Exit Disclaimer.  This is Dr. Griffin Rodgers. Join me next week for more Healthy Moments.
