The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Minority Health awarded a $533,333.34 Project Grant under the Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant Program (CFDA 93.137) to Healthvisions Midwest. The four-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, will support the "Healthvisions Midwest Community Level Innovations for Improving Health Outcomes (CLIIHO) Project." This initiative aims to address the disproportionately high rates of diabetes among African American and Hispanic populations in Allen and Lake Counties, Indiana. The project will utilize evidence-based programming and strategies to achieve two key objectives: 1) Reduce the number of new diabetes cases diagnosed yearly, and 2) Increase the proportion of people with diabetes who receive formal diabetes education. Over the grant period, Healthvisions Midwest plans to serve over 12,000 individuals through community outreach and support services, and provide diabetes self-management education and support to at least 2,400 participants.
