DAYTONA BEACH A new state-of-the-art medical resource for diabetes treatment moved another step closer to reality on Friday, as a new sign marking the Lohman Diabetes Center of Excellence was officially unveiled at Halifax Health Medical Center.
Pointing skyward, Lowell Lohman, the center’s namesake along with his wife, Nancy, envisioned the impact that the project could have on Volusia County diabetes patients who now must travel elsewhere for treatment.
“Our goal is to change that,” Lohman said, moments after the new sign was unveiled. Now, diabetes patients can “look up and see one word that says this is a place … that you can go to get help and that’s incredibly exciting.”
Next week, AdventHealth Daytona Beach and Halifax Health Medical Center will receive the first rounds of coronavirus vaccines in Volusia County.
And Ormond in the Pines is expected to be one of the first long-term care facilities in the nation to receive the coronavirus vaccine in the coming weeks.
Margaret Crossman, chief medical officer for Halifax Health, said during the Volusia County meeting Friday morning that having an effective vaccine so quickly is unprecedented. To have vaccines already available to us in less than a year after this pandemic started is truly, truly a miracle, Crossman said. We’ve not seen anything like this before.
