Organizational Structure

The goals of the Tri-County Diabetes
Alliance are to identify and educate individuals at risk of
developing diabetes in the tri-county area, and to develop programs
that will help individuals with diabetes reduce their risk of
developing medical complications associated with the disease.
The Subcommittees for the Alliance and their function are as
follows:
Business: To identify area businesses that would be
receptive to
distribute ADA Diabetes Risk test to their employees.
School: To determine effective methods for educating both
youth and
parents about healthy lifestyle practices including healthy eating,
physical activity, and behavior modification strategies.
Faith-based: To identify churches that would be receptive to
distributing ADA Diabetes Risk tests to their members.
Outreach: To focus on developing an annual plan for health
fair
participation and diabetes road show implementation.
The Tri-County Diabetes Alliance sponsors and conducts several health education and outreach
programs addressing prevention of pre-diabetes and diabetes. This
will include presentations and free health screenings in a variety
of settings including schools, worksites, faith based communities,
and other community centers. Please check our
