YMCA Announces Diabetes Prevention Grant from the Kate B Reynolds Foundation
A grant from the Kate B Reynolds Charitable Trust was announced at the Cleveland County Family YMCA’s annual meeting. The YMCA was awarded a two year grant for $132,550 to support a diabetes prevention program.
The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program (YDPP) is an innovative model to help reduce the burden of chronic disease. The Cleveland County YMCA finds itself at a perfect juncture with access to a proven program and a pressing community need. The Y will be assisted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and YMCA of the USA. Locally the Y looks to partner with the Cleveland County Healthcare System, the Health Department, DSS, the Housing Department and many physician practices.
“This program has had tremendous success across the country. We are so excited to bring such a proven program model to our community. This fits our strategic vision of transforming the health of our region,” noted YMCA CEO Cameron Corder. “Past programs developed by the CDC and YMCA of the USA found that such programs can cut the risk of diabetes by 70%.”
