Our Diabetes Education program is accredited by the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists.
Diabetes education services utilize a collaborative process through which people with or at risk for diabetes work with a Diabetes Educator to receive individualized care to help them reach their health goals. Diabetes education is a covered Medicare benefit when delivered through an accredited program.
