Congruent with the KMHC mission, the KMHC Diabetes Education Program supports staff that is confident and accountable for giving quality care to the individual and family living with diabetes. We implement a flexible and holistic approach including the physical, spiritual, emotional and social components into our client assessments and management practices. We seek to identify and encourage behavior change to make choices and modify risk factors in the development and control of diabetes.
