DOWNLOAD FULL REPORTBuffalo’s East Side is predominantly African American and poor. While diabetes self-management education is considered an integral component of effective care, skilled educators are not readily available in poor, minority communities.
In January 2008, NYHealth awarded Jericho Road Ministries, Inc., a grant to form the Diabetes Center of Community Excellence to provide culturally appropriate support and motivation for diabetes self-management in minority communities. NYHealth funded this project through its 2007 Setting the Standard: Advancing Best Practices in Diabetes Management request for proposals.
