Community Health Programs

The new Diabetes Prevention Program has been approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It will be held for an entire year, with bi-weekly meetings for
the next 3 months.  The curriculum will incorporate healthy eating, physical activity, stress management and more. Statistics have shown that those who have completed the program have reduced their risk of diabetes by 58%. In
addition, they have experienced weight loss, increased energy and activity and an overall physical and mental well being that comes with a healthy lifestyle. This program is for you if you are age 18 or older, have a BMI greater than 25, have been clinically diagnosed with pre-diabetes or gestational diabetes, or have no previous diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
