Our Diabetes Program was created to enhance the education and support offered to our patients suffering with diabetes. We are wholeheartedly focused on improving the lives of our patients with diabetes. Our Diabetes Program goals are to:

reduce the occurrence of serious illness that could result in hospital stays and ER visits
reduce diabetes-related complications, such as blindness, amputations, kidney failure and heart disease
provide state-of-the-art treatment, monitoring and education
promote self-management and a team approach to diabetes care
reduce your health care costs
and, most important to us: make your life with diabetes better and longer
