2017 Iowa Diabetes Summit
A forum to discuss the latest practices, opportunities, resources, and tools for addressing diabetes prevention, control and management. National, state, and local experts will share innovative strategies for reducing the burden of diabetes in Iowa.
The Asian Community and Cultural Center (ACCC) is a community center in Lincoln, Nebraska that enlists six community health workers (CHW’s) to provide a variety of social and economic and language-based services to 1,0000 unduplicated clients. These clients are refugees and immigrants from diverse ethnic groups (Vietnamese, Karen, Karenni, Yazidi, Dinka, and Nuba). One primary CHW service is to connect clients to medical homes. One emerging health issue in our clients is diabetes. For the past three years, ACCC has had grant support to address diabetes prevention, diagnosis, and care. This presentation describes the problem in our communities, the ways in which we have worked to address it both internally and with community partners, and challenges and insights for similar models.

Last March, an onsite training was held that focused on skills development for this workforce. That training, called CORE – for coaching, outreach, relationship, and engagement – focused on advancing those relationship and engagement skills necessary to be effective in working directly with individuals.
