Diabetes is a daunting public health issue in the U.S.: more than 29 million Americans have been diagnosed with the disease and another 79 million are estimated to have pre-diabetes. The problem is particularly worrisome in the Latino community, where disease rates are nearly double those of non-Hispanic whites. San Diego, with its large Hispanic population as well as its proximity to the border, experiences this issue in unique ways. Public health agencies and local organizations have developed innovative approaches to address the community?s needs. Please join us for a breakfast conversation with health care practitioners on the forefront of diabetes care as we discuss care delivery in the local Hispanic and cross-border community. The panel will look at successful programs, models of care, technologies and educational outreach to culturally diverse populations in the San Diego area.
