Aloha ‘Ohana!

Earlier this month, Ko'olauloa Health Center had the honor of hosting visitors from the Hawai'i Primary Care Association (HPCA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD).

They spent the afternoon talking story about the health center's participation in the National Diabetes Prevention Program. This program aims to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by following the CDC-recognized lifestyle change program.

Ko'olauloa community members meet regularly over the course of the one-year program. Together the cohort works towards making lasting lifestyle changes, such as adding physical activity into their daily routine and making modifications to the foods they eat.
