Diabetes & Patient Education
Diabetes Education
Patients receive diabetes information and facts on disease processes through
group or one-on-one sessions, led by a Certified Diabetes Educator, about the
importance of controlling diabetes.
Patient Education
Patients are provided educational materials and
encouraged to watch videos on their disease process.
The Medication Assistance Program (MAP) provides medications for low-income patients with chronic conditions at no charge or for a nominal fee. This is made possible through applications to the pharmaceutical companies that are filled out by our MAP volunteers who ensure that the proper signatures and documentation are included. Once medications are received, MAP volunteers also assist in their distribution.
To participate in the program, patients must qualify for CCA services and are referred to MAP through the Adult Health Center or by a CCA caseworker. Patients must be US citizens and must have sources of income without Medicare, Medicaid or any private prescription insurance plan.
