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.

Aloha 'Ohana!

Ko’olauloa Health Center is excited to offer the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program. This is a lifestyle change program that can help to prevent type 2 diabetes. The program is being offered for FREE for both Ko’olauloa Health Center patients and non-patient community members.

In the Diabetes Prevention Program participants will be with a group from the community. Led by our clinic’s dedicated team of trained lifestyle coaches, participants will learn the skills to make lasting lifestyle changes. They will learn to eat healthier, increase physical activity, manage stress, stay motivated, and solve problems that can get in the way of maintaining healthy changes.

The clinic is looking to start classes in late May 2023.
