Programs

Diabetes Program

Diabetes can be a life threatening illness if not properly managed. Homeless individuals, or those at risk, have a higher chance of experiencing complications from this disease. To ensure the best outcomes for our patients, Duffy Health Center has implemented evidence-based practices developed in collaboration with state and federal practice guidelines.

Supporting the Journey

Using best evidence practices, Duffy’s diabetes team has decreased complications from chronic diabetes for over 200 patients annually. Staff treat, educate and address related illnesses such as depression and smoking, and involve each person in developing a plan of care. Patients can access the program at Duffy Health Center and from the Mobile Health Clinic. Our goals for this program include: 

  • Achieving improved health outcomes for patients 
  • Transforming traditional medical practice to an interdisciplinary care model 
  • Encouraging patients to be active participants in their health care
