How Health Centers Can Take Action to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
The National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH) in collaboration with the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES) invites you to join us in this 60-minute webinar which will provide an overview of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, how health centers can identify people at risk, and how they can help their patients get the support they need to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is a high-risk condition for developing chronic diseases, and health centers are an ideal location for identifying individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes, screening those individuals for eligibility in a CDC-recognized diabetes prevention program, and referring them to care.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this webinar participants will:
- Learn about the National Diabetes Prevention Program; and the role health centers have as an important healthcare partner for screening, testing, and referring people with prediabetes into diabetes prevention programs
- Recognize ways to build awareness of diabetes prevention among providers, partners, and patients
