Chronic Disease Prevention and Self-Management Year-long Webinar Series
January 31, 2018 to December 19, 2018 2:00-3:00pm CST
Diabetes and hypertension are both major public health issues in the United States. According to the CDC, more than 29 million people have diabetes (and another 86 million are living with prediabetes), and about 75 million people have hypertension. According to the 2016 UDS, 14% of community health center (CHC) patients have diabetes and 26% have hypertension. Of those patients, approximately 32% have uncontrolled diabetes and 38% have uncontrolled hypertension. CHCs in Region X report data that is consistent with CHCs nationally. Chronic disease prevention and management require understanding a myriad of risk and protective factors and knowing how to leverage tools and resources from multiple sectors, including public health, behavioral health, and health care to promote good health.
In this ten-part webinar series, participants will cover a variety of topics that promote and inform community health-driven chronic disease prevention and self-management methods and practices. There will be one 60-minute webinar each month throughout the 2018 calendar year that will examine a different topic (with the exception of May and October 2018). The webinar series will be a blend of didactic trainings and interactive conversations to share ideas and ask questions.
Anyone part of the care team is encouraged to join this webinar series, including clinicians, mid-level staff and managers, case managers, support staff, community-facing leaders and staff, and providers. Care teams that jointly participate in the series will benefit greatly.
