SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The YMCA manages a Diabetes Prevention Program that is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-led National Diabetes Prevention Program and is nationally supported by the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance (“Program”). The County of Monterey has suitable clinic space and equipment for provision of this Program and is willing to allow YMCA to utilize such facilities to educate the patient population in our community who are at risk of developing diabetes.
The YMCA’s diabetes prevention program will include: (i) identification of individuals with prediabetes through prediabetes screening, including a hemoglobin A1C test; and (ii) participation in a number of educational sessions over a period of time and will be facilitated by a trained YMCA Lifestyle Coach covering nutrition, physical activity, and behavior modification. Currently, almost 40% of diabetic adult patients in Clinic Services have an HbA1c score >9, which is 10% more than the national average, so offering a Program available to patients on-site will be beneficial.
Approval of the recommended action will (1) allow the YMCA to begin offering health educational sessions directly to our at-risk patient population in locations that are familiar and accessible to them and (2) directly affect County of Monterey's efforts to prevent and reduce diabetes in our community.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2011 - 2015 Strategic Plan initiative: 3) Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one or more of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 3) Inform, educate and empower people about health issues, 4) Mobilize community partnerships and action to identify and solve health problems, and 7) Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care when otherwise unavailable.
