Joslin, Elliott P.

    0.01 sec.
Joslin, Elliott P. (1869–1962) physician; born in Oxford, Mass. An early interest in diabetes became a passion when his mother became his eighth case (1900). He dedicated his life to all aspects of the disease—research, treatment, and education. Based in Boston, he established a clinic for affordable in-patient care and education (1953) and the Diabetes Foundation for charitable donations (1953); he also helped establish a summer camp for diabetic children at Clara Barton's birthplace in Oxford, Mass.
