Tina Milano
Interim President & CEO
We are counting down the days until the start of Camp season and we couldn't be more excited! We are happy to be welcoming our old friends back and welcoming new friends to the Camp Ho Mita Koda community. One new friend who will be joining us is Dr. Sasha Shaw who is teaming up with Dr. Uli and the rest of the Camp Ho Mita Koda medical staff this summer. Dr. Shaw went to medical school in Europe and completed her residency in Family Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. She trained at University Hospitals but currently lives in Jamaica where she works as a temporary physician filling short term positions where needed. We are delighted to announce that she will be moving to Camp Ho Mita Koda and staying with us until the end of summer. If you would like to meet Dr. Shaw, come out to Camp on June 16 for Open House! At Open House, you will also have the opportunity to meet the rest of the staff and medical team and take a tour of our wonderful Camp.
Registration is still open for all camp sessions! Please visit the camp website for session dates, information about Camp Open House and to register. We look forward to welcoming new and old friends to Camp Ho Mita Koda this summer!

A Big Camp Thank You...
On behalf of everyone at Diabetes Partnership of  Cleveland, we would like to extend our gratitude to John and Sue Pitfield for their generous donation to Camp Ho Mita Koda in celebration of their son, Jack, and his graduation from Colgate University. Camp has been a part of Jack's life since he was 9 years old; having been a camper for many years then graduating on to become a staff member. Camp means so much to the Pittfields because it gave Jack the skills and the confidence he needed to successfully manage his diabetes.
