About the Project
Trinity is partnering with the Center 4 Health Research at the University of Illinois College of Medicine-Peoria to launch the HEALS-Diabetes Initiative, a project that aims to reduce the healthcare burden in Fulton County by promoting low-cost, sustainable diabetes prevention and management. The HEALS-Diabetes intervention is a three-year, community-driven health education program designed to reduce diabetes risks and improve disease management for residents of Fulton County using a culturally tailored, faith-based behavioral lifestyle model. The program will empower community members to take charge of their health, thereby reducing the burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
