I went to medical school at the University of Minnesota and did my Pediatric and Pediatric Endocrinology training at the University of Iowa. Our family moved back to Minnesota in 1996, and I have been at Children\u2019s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota since. At Children\u2019s, we\u2019re proud to be the biggest clinic in the area providing diabetes care and the best of new technology to kids. Outside of work, I like outdoor activities; camping, hiking, skiing, fishing, and pretty much anything that gets me out in the woods. I have a lot of good stories to tell about YMCA camping experiences as a kid and teen.\u00a0 If the weather is bad, I will get my sewing machine out and work on a quilt or two.\u00a0 My husband, Dan, and I have 4 wonderful children and four grandchildren that keep us busy, as well.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Camp Sweet Life [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]CAMP ACTIVITIES Arts &amp; Crafts Water Activities Group Games STEM Activities Shooting sports: Archery &amp; Sling Shots Nature Exploration Dancing SAFETY AT CAMP Medical supervision around the clock Meals planned and supervised by Registered Nutritionist Counselors trained in diabetes care Age-appropriate activities planned and supervised VACCINATION REQUIREMENT Camp Sweet Life Immunization&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2300"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2300"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3494,"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2300\/revisions\/3494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/campsweetlife.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
