ARH NEWS RELEASE – ARH Diabetes Educator Receives National ADCES Advancing the Vision Award
Lexington, KY – Ashley Webb, RN, LDE, System Diabetes Education Coordinator for Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH), has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Advancing the Vision Award from the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES), one of the nation’s highest honors recognizing innovative leadership in diabetes care and education.
The award recognizes individuals and programs that are expanding access to diabetes care while advancing the future of diabetes education through innovation, collaboration, and community impact.
Webb received the national award during the ADCES Annual Conference held in Columbus, Ohio, where diabetes care and education professionals from across the United States gathered to share best practices and celebrate excellence in the field.
For Webb, the recognition represents something much larger than an individual achievement.
“This award belongs to so many people,” Webb said. “It belongs to every participant who walked through the doors of a Diabetes Connection meeting, every healthcare provider who believed in referring patients, and every person living with diabetes who trusted us enough to become part of their journey.”
