[Self-Management_OR] Oregon Diabetes Report

[Epstein Andrew D]

FYI – the following report was delivered by OHA to the Oregon Legislature last week. Providing chronic disease self-management programs is one of the crucial components of a comprehensive diabetes prevention and control approach – thanks for all that you do!

Oregon Diabetes Report: A report on the burden of diabetes in Oregon and progress on the 2009 Strategic Plan to Slow the Rate of Diabetes (January 2015)​ – This report was prepared as a result of Senate Bill 169 (2013), which required the Oregon Health Authority to report on the burden of diabetes, the status of the diabetes strategic plan, and recommendations to complete implementation of the plan. The highest priority identified in the 2009 strategic plan continues to be the highest priority today: establish and fund a statewide obesity prevention and education program to support population-wide public health interventions to prevent and reduce obesity and diabetes. The full report is available at http://public.health.oregon.gov/DiseasesConditions/ChronicDisease/Diabetes/Pages/pubs.aspx.

Best,
