Diabetes

n 2020, YMCA of the Triangle and Duke Family Medicine (DFM) began a collaborative journey to address physician awareness, patient education and utilization of community programming to better support health intervention efforts for people with pre-diabetes or at risk for pre-diabetes.

As of March 2023, 2,953,505 North Carolinians are enrolled in Medicaid, according to the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The majority are single mothers and their children under the age of 20, seniors and disabled and blind people.

Our YMCAs are transitioning many of the evidence-based health initiatives (EBHI) to a virtual platform during a COVID-19 era. And our communities appreciate that support.
