November is Diabetes Awareness Month. The Waukon Lions Club and the Postville Lions Club have continued to support the Diabetes Department at Veterans Memorial Hospital (VMH) with monetary donations in 2026.

Both the Waukon and Postville Lions Clubs have a commitment to community service and helping meet the needs of area residents. Their generous donations reflect that commitment and their shared interest in promoting the health and well-being of others, including those living with diabetes.

Veterans Memorial Hospital appreciates the support of both Lions Clubs and their dedication to the Diabetes Department. Donations like this help the department continue its mission of educating patients about diabetes management, encouraging healthy lifestyle choices, and providing resources to help individuals better manage their health. Recent purchases with donation funds include a Professional CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) system, thera-bands for at home exercise and resource materials.

Veterans Memorial Hospital extends its sincere thanks to the Waukon Lions Club and the Postville Lions Club for their generosity and continued support of health care in the local community.
