The Berrie Center’s pediatric and adult patient population, now numbering more than 10,000 people, is extraordinarily diverse, including patients of diverse ages, ethnic backgrounds and socioeconomic status. The mission of the Berrie Center is to provide “the care until the cure.” The clinical space is directly adjacent to research laboratories working on the prevention, treatment and ultimately, cure of the disease. Because of close collaboration between clinicians and investigators at the Berrie Center, advances in research are made available to the patients as rapidly as possible. The Berrie Center is a leader in the recruitment of minority research subjects and in reducing health care disparities, particularly in children with diabetes. A major focus of Dr. Goland’s work is on translational research and clinical trials in adult and pediatric patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Goland is also the J. Merrill Eastman Professor of Clinical Diabetes in the departments of medicine and pediatrics at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, where she earned her MD in1980. She was subsequently a resident and chief medical resident at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and completed training in endocrinology research at Columbia. Her undergraduate degree is from Harvard University.

BVMI is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, completely dependent on contributed income from individuals, businesses, community groups and foundation grants. Friends of BVMI was established in 2011 to promote and support the mission of BVMI through community outreach and fundraising and to offer enrichment opportunities to its members. “BVMI has demonstrated that it can make a huge difference for people who lack health insurance, while also offering a model for prevention, coordinated care and reduced cost in the long run,” said Ridgewood resident Heidi Ahlborn, MD, the founder of the group.
