Founded in 2000 and led by world-renowned diabetes expert Anne L. Peters, MD,
the USC Westside Diabetes Center is a full-service program dedicated to
research, education, treatment, and advocacy. We proudly serve
patients accross East Los Angeles and the Westside, with a special commitment
to improving access to care for underserved communities.
​
As part of a leading research university—and with generous support from our
philanthropic partners—we offer the following lifesaving programs:​​​
Patient-Centered Care
Our clinics in East Los Angeles and Beverly Hills provide comprehensive diabetes management and prevention delivered by a multidisciplinary, bilingual team. Patients have access to the latest technologies, including automated insulin delivery systems and continuous glucose monitoring. Our East Los Angeles center, recognized for its focus on clinical research and essential care for Latino communities, has become a model for diabetes management across Los Angeles County.
Life-Changing Research
We conduct ongoing research in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, along with community-based studies aimed at reducing obesity and preventing type 2 diabetes in underserved populations. Through these research programs, we are able to provide supplemental care to patients when medical funding is reduced.
Education and Community Programs
Education and outreach are core to our mission. We provide bilingual diabetes education, nutritional counseling, and community-based programs designed to empower individuals and families—especially in underserved areas.
