A Strategic Approach to Advancing Health Equity for Priority Populations with or at Risk for Diabetes.
Diabetes HIPE (Healing Inequities through Partner Excellence) provides a strategic approach to advancing health equity for priority populations at risk for diabetes through the expansion of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) throughout Michigan. The NKFM will provide its demonstrated expertise in program expansion, alongside trusted partners, to people at risk for diabetes, especially in high-risk counties.
Additional strategies include advancing health equity for individuals with diabetes, working with project partners to engage in quality improvement projects on diabetic retinopathy and CKD screenings to prevent diabetes complications, State Medicaid benefit expansion and DPP delivery to priority populations, and work with statewide YMCA partners to expand childhood obesity interventions.
