The NC Alliance of YMCAs and the YMCA of the Triangle are collaborating with 12 other YMCA state alliances and YMCAs working together to scale the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and improve participant access, engagement and outcomes.
The Alliance and the Triangle Y are part of Y-USA’s Project Leadership Group, funded by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, spearheading this effort to:
• increase enrollment in DPP and Minority Diabetes Prevention Program across the entire Y network and
• develop and drive annual action plans to meet the goals of the funding opportunity across the entire Y network.
This work is just getting underway this fall, starting with a statewide landscape assessment of diabetes prevention in our state to identify health needs, assets, gaps and social determinants in the communities we serve. We look forward to engaging with local and national partners in this work to help drive more successful implementation of DPP throughout North Carolina and nationwide to improve health outcomes.
