2026 UPDATE of The Memnosyne Institute's Making our Make on Healthcare Disparity"Program
In 2026, The Memnosyne Institute has allocated $10k to the "Making our Make on Healthcare Disparity" initiative lead by Dr. Rene Hymel.
While this is allowing Dr. Hymel to continue his outreach into Louisiana based communities, it is not enough for him to support the work of volunteer doctors he has trained who are ready and willing to replicate his badly needed outreach in other areas. Add to that, the current administrations massive budget cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the termination of major, long-term studies such a s multi-decade diabetes study tracking patients led by Columbia University and the recent administration's cuts to diabetes centered biomedical research, and Dr. Hymel's work is even more timely and necessary to educate populations on reducing their chances for developing this debilitating disease.
Additional funds would enable Dr. Rene Hymel's team to expand educational outreach based on past proven results where his community based strategy has reduced the number of people losing limbs due to a lack of knowledge of what leads to diabetes.
Please consider donating towards this badly needed program's expansion and contact Isabell Welcher Rossignol if you have any questions.
