MedTech Company Connects with the T1D Community Through Education and Family-Focused Activities
North Carolina is home for me and my family. It’s especially meaningful to be able to give back to the community we’re part of.”
VALLE CRUCIS, NC, UNITED STATES, September 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Orange Biomed, a medical technology company focused on diabetes care, today announced it will participate in Camp to Community High Country, a one-day event hosted by The Diabetes Family Connection (DFC) on September 26, 2026, at the Valle Crucis Conference Center in North Carolina.— Luke Jo, Co-founder of Orange Biomed
Designed for children aged 5–15 living with T1D and their families, the Camp to Community initiative brings camp experiences, diabetes management education, and peer-to-peer connection to communities across North Carolina. Launched by The DFC in 2023 to extend support beyond the state's metropolitan areas, the program pairs recreational programming for children with resource sessions for caregivers, led largely by volunteers and medical counselors who themselves live with T1D.
This initiative directly aligns with Orange Biomed's "M.A.P. Your Health" campaign, which advocates for broader health awareness, patient empowerment, and proactive diabetes management.
"North Carolina is home for me and my family," said Luke Jo, Co-founder of Orange Biomed. "It’s especially meaningful to be able to give back to the community we’re part of."
Orange Biomed's local engagement will continue into the fall with its participation in the 2026 Breakthrough T1D Triangle Walk in Raleigh on November 8, reinforcing the company's broader commitment to public awareness, advocacy, and health accessibility across North Carolina.
