This 6 week initiative is designed for people with diabetes and their caregivers, helping them learn important skills for managing their condition and working well with healthcare providers. Led by educators certified by Stanford University's Diabetes Self-Management Program Master Trainers, these sessions will run every Tuesday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. This invaluable resource is FREE and extends a warm invitation to spouses, family members, and caregivers. Space is limited for this two-hour workshop, facilitated by the Tina Umstead, of the Paris and Henry County Healthcare Foundation Delta Rural Health Initiative.
