 The
Boice-Willis Clinic Health Education Department
and Diabetes Education
Program work with
physicians to offer
comprehensive medical care. Our professional staff
provides individual education, assessment, and follow-up with the goal
of
providing information and skills essential to maintain optimal health.
Program Focus:
According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes is
the sixth leading cause of death from disease. Individuals with diabetes
are two to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular
and heart disease. More than 2500 people are
newly diagnosed with diabetes each day. The Boice-Willis Clinic Diabetes
Education Program has been certified by the American Diabetes Association
since 1999.
Through participation in the Diabetes Education
Program, the patient will become familiar with the relationship of
nutrition, exercise, medication, and self-monitoring of blood sugars to
achieve diabetes control. Improved control through self-management
decreases the risk of complications such as heart, kidney, and eye diseases.
