Mission Statement
The Diabetes Education Program reports to the department of Food
and Nutrition of Unity Health System. We are dedicated to
diabetes self-management education and support of individuals
with diabetes. We serve patients from urban and suburban
neighborhoods with varied educational, cultural and
socio-economic backgrounds. Our goal is to empower patients to
take control of their diabetes through education, so that
complications, morbidity and hospitalizations may be reduced and
quality of life optimized.

Our vision as the Diabetes Education Program of Unity Health
System is to remain an American Diabetes Association recognized
program that is able to provide:
- Easy access for all our patients throughout our service
area.
- Qualified staff with a sensitivity to patients' individual
and family needs.
- Networking across the continuum of care so that patients
receive seamless diabetes education and care between
physician, hospital and community.
- Documented outcomes upon which decisions are made to
continuously improve the program.
- Patients with a feeling of self-efficacy in managing their
disease.
