Mission Statement:
The mission of the California Diabetes Program is to prevent diabetes and its complications in California's diverse communities.
California Diabetes Program:
The California Diabetes Program is a partnership between the California Department of Public Health and the University of California, San Francisco, funded primarily by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Guided by national and state goals as well as community input, the program is a coordinating leader for hundreds of multi-sector partners at the individual, community, health care, policy, and environmental levels.
Key Objectives of the California Diabetes Program are to:
- Conduct Surveillance to monitor statewide diabetes health status and risk factors.
- Provide Communications to increase awareness about diabetes.
- Guide Public Policy to support people with and at risk for diabetes.
- Offer leadership, guidance, and resources for Community Health Interventions.
- Improve the quality of care in Health Care Delivery Systems.
- Reduce diabetes-related Health Disparities.
Brief success stories describe some of our unique efforts to reduce diabetes risk factors, disability, and death.
In 2004, the California Diabetes Program was selected as one of five top-performing state diabetes programs in the nation and our staff continue to serve in leadership positions in national, statewide, and grass-roots collaboratives working to reduce health disparities, improve the quality of treatment people receive in their health care system, and integrate primary prevention efforts to reduce the prevalence of all chronic disease.
