Our Diabetes Care Program seeks to support the retention and continuum care for patients with diabetes type II by providing care follow-up, education, and referrals to needed social services, in order to reduce patients’ health disparities and address their non-medical drivers of health. Chronic Care Coordinators (CCCs) provide education, awareness, and the necessary tools for adequate self-management and the prevention of complications.
