In 1921 the first clinical tests on a human patient were conducted on a severely diabetic 14-year-old boy. Although the injections of the extract failed to have resoundingly beneficial effects, the Toronto team continued to experiment. A short while later James Collip made a breakthrough in purifying the extract, using alcohol in slightly over 90 percent concentration to precipitate out the active ingredient (insulin). Lives have forever been changed thanks to Frederick Banting, Charles Best, and James Collip.

Thank you Hospital Association of Oregon - HAO for the shout-out. We have a great team that loves to educate our community.

Oregon’s rural hospitals treat patients who live, work, and play outdoors. Those activities can lead to emergency situations requiring specialized skills. The Sky Lakes Medical Center trauma crew has expertise in treating a variety of injuries, and the team is sharing knowledge through , a national campaign to educate individuals on how to control severe bleeding in emergency situations. The team organized a booth at the Klamath County Safety Fair.
