Academic medical centers train doctors, discover new treatments, and care for the most challenging patients—all while facing multiple systemic challenges. With funding sources constantly changing and research costs continuing to rise, the giving and the support of donors is more important than ever.
At the Case Center for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, your gift can help transform the Case Western Reserve University community and beyond.
