Filed in archive Information , News , Resources on September 11, 2008
The American Diabetes Association, to celebrate the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month and also in recognition of those in the Hispanic/Latino american population who have diabetes or at at risk for diabetes is introducing its new Hispanic Adult Prevention Toolkit designed specifically for community-based and faith-based organizations in Hispanic/Latino communities, through a grant from Abbott Fund.
The toolkit provides organizations with comprehensive and culturally relevant information on diabetes and healthy living. Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the American Diabetes Association will also be hosting Feria de Salud Por Tu Familia, an outdoor Latino health festival in cities across the United States.
"Personal health matters such as diabetes can be a sensitive subject among Latino communities," said Lurelean B. Gaines, M.S.N., chair of the American Diabetes Association’s National Latino Subcommittee. "We want to change that in a culturally sensitive way. The American Diabetes Association provides a wealth of relevant information specifically for Hispanic/Latino populations, so health issues can move from personal or individual challenges, to broader community-based solutions."
