OUR PROGRAM

Welcome to our SIMPLE Diabetes Management Program!

In this program, Community Health Workers educate individuals with diabetes to understand and overcome common community healthcare barriers.  This program is 100% remote.  It is designed with monthly videos that can be sent to patients monthly.  In this curriculum we share ideas of questions that you can ask patients on a weekly basis and that are related to the video of the month.

Here you can find and download videos, PowerPoint presentations and curriculum used in our program.

All materials (publications, PowerPoint presentations, videos and notes) can be used free of charge when used for educational purposes and our webpage is appropriately recognized/credited.
