OIDC How OIDC began In the spring of 2008, staff from the Harold Hamm Diabetes Center hosted a meeting and invited all IHS/Tribal/Urban diabetes programs. After the first meeting, the group decided they wanted to continue meeting and working together as a group and 6 months later we hosted our 1st event, the Tribal Leaders summit. The success of the summit influenced the OIDC members to apply for 501©3 status.
