We believe that patient education is an essential component of the on-going quality care we provide to the diabetic population of our community. We strongly emphasize the concepts of self-management and patient responsibility. We promote these concepts through a teaching program designed to provide individuals with diabetes, their families, significant others, and friends with needed and desired information in the area of technical, psychosocial and behavioral skills in order to achieve and maintain optimal health.
