Officials with HealthInsight confirmed that Luna County is one of three New Mexico counties targeted for the diabetes prevention campaign. The other two counties are San Juan and Valencia.
The campaign is focusing on rural, underserved counties, and assisting residents with enrollment and participation in lifestyle-change programs, as well as screenings, detection and referrals.
Anyone interested should take a brief risk test at www.healthinsight.org/PreventDiabetes to determine if they qualify for a sponsored program.
Those who don’t qualify for a sponsored program may still qualify for free courses or courses covered by their health insurance.
HealthInsight states its mission as helping communities achieve significant and continuing improvement in the health of the community, and in the quality and effectiveness of health care.
The website, again, is www.healthinsight.org/PreventDiabetes.
