Through a research-based approach, the Foundation will help make Denmark a global leader in delivering the best patient-centred care within diabetes. As a first priority, the Foundation will advance all aspects of diabetes care in Denmark across a patient’s lifetime through the Steno Diabetes Centers public–private partnership model.

The Foundation’s activities will focus on:

• Establishing and expanding Steno Diabetes Centers to all regions of Denmark and the
  North Atlantic
• Delivering patient-centred and research-based care and outcomes for all people with
  diabetes in Denmark
• Realizing synergistic benefits across the Steno Diabetes Centers network, the Copenhagen
  Bioscience Cluster, Steno Collaborative Grants and other relevant initiatives
• Training programmes and methods related to patient-centred and research-based care
• Related priorities:
  – Prevention of type 2 diabetes
  – Prevention and treatment of diabetes comorbidities
  – Research on and care for hospitalized diabetes patients
  – Research on other endocrine disorders (osteoporosis, thyroid and pituitary disorders)
