Diabetes Prevention Program

Through our Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), those at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes learn about healthy eating and how to increase physical activity. By losing weight, managing stress with relaxation techniques and learning coping skills to make healthy lifestyle changes, you can lower your glucose and A1c levels.

The DPP is an evidence-based program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It includes 16 one-hour sessions in an interactive group setting for the first six months. If you join, you’ll also receive continued support during the maintenance phase, which consists of monthly sessions for six more months.

Freedom From Smoking

Freedom From Smoking® is an eight-session, interactive program developed by the American Lung Association. This program provides skills and support to help tobacco users conquer their addiction.

If you join this program, you’ll learn about lifestyle changes to make quitting easier, plus coping strategies for managing stress and avoiding weight gain.
