The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center's Special Diabetes Program For Indians will focus on the required key measure of reducing hypertension among patients with diabetes. This will be accomplished by: monitoring blood pressure in patients with diabetes, providing one-on-one education about hypertension with patients at risk of who currently have high blood pressure, monitoring blood glucose among patients at the clinic for programs or clinical appointments, and fitness activity and education. Additionally, the program will focus on the following activities: weekly Work Out Low Fat for Elders (WOLFE) Program for Native American elders and friends; operating a Native Wellness Garden to provide produce and cultural learning opportunities to patients and the broader community; providing transit to patients to make sure they are current with their diabetes labs and other health checks; and increasing the number of people who use our on-site Fitness Center, especially those with a diagnosis of diabetes and/or hypertension.
