Preventing Type 2 Diabetes with Health Literacy.
We envision a world where we are preventing Diabetes, not just treating it.
Overview: “Preventing Type 2 Diabetes with Health Literacy” builds upon our successful, ongoing, Healthcare Access, health literacy program which includes short Patient Education video courses, Peer-led Patient Advocacy workshops and Peer to Peer Panels with Patients and Experts.
Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Program
Type 2 Diabetes is one of the most preventable diseases. Ensuring vulnerable communities such as the underserved and vulnerable, senior citizens, those with chronic health conditions, and non-native English speakers have access to free healthcare literacy will reduce the amount of Type 2 Diabetes present in these populations. All elements of the program will be delivered initially in English and Spanish with additional languages added over time. The program will be completely free of charge to the clients.
