Diabetes Workshops In Full Swing!

Julie Mitchell, MSN

We are excited to report that our third cohort of patients for our initiative Turning the Curve for Patients Living with Prediabetes, Diabetes and Other Metabolic Illnesses has begun!

Diabetes Workshops have kicked-off with enthusiastic patients gathering in a series of seven-month sessions to learn more about how they can take charge of their health. Its well-documented that shared learning can help bridge the skills gap and improve engagement and retention in public health programs.

We’re also excited to welcome Julie Mitchell, MSN to the Culmore Clinic team as a Diabetes Educator key member of the diabetes workshop team!

Initially launched with seed money from Kaiser Permanente, this three-year pilot program is possible thanks to a generous partnership with Islamic Relief USA, a nonprofit humanitarian agency and member of the Islamic Relief Worldwide group of organizations. The initiative is also supported by educators and pharmacists from our partners at NovaScripts Central.
