Chehalis Tribe's Special Diabetes Program for Indians - The Chehalis Tribe’s Special Diabetes Program for Indians(SDPI) will focus on Lipid Management in Cardiovascular Disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for individuals with diabetes. Appropriate use of statin therapy results in significant CVD risk reduction for adults with diabetes. The SDPI program will work to identify and recruit diabetic patients to develop an individual plan and collaborate with their medical team. Diabetic Patients will be provided information and education to help make informed decisions about their health care. The SDPI program will provide monthly lunch and learn events on various heart health topics and have a medical provider available to answer questions. A community outreach campaign will be held focusing on lifestyle change behaviors and reinforcing the importance of heart health. Medical providers will do quarterly tribal newsletter articles on heart health and other diabetic topics. At the Chehalis Tribe’s annual diabetes health fair there will be outreach information available focusing on heart health and the program will continue to do our diabetes standard care screenings.
