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 NDPP/MDPP throughout Michigan. Alongside NDPP delivery, NKFM will provide its demonstrated expertise in program proliferation to identified partners in high-risk counties.
To advance health equity for individuals with diabetes, project partners will engage in quality improvement projects on diabetic retinopathy and CKD screenings to prevent diabetes complications. State Medicaid benefit expansion and NDPP delivery to priority populations, while working with health plans throughout the state to tailor messaging and support for expansion of the NDPP to Medicaid beneficiaries, are additional strategies. NKFM will also work with statewide YMCA partners to expand childhood obesity interventions.
