A new diabetes diagnosis can be overwhelming, and expensive.
At our clinic, a newly diagnosed diabetes patient leaves with more than just a lab result and a pamphlet. They leave with answers, with education on their condition, and our starter kit that helps them begin managing their health immediately.
The cost of that initial diabetes diagnoses, including labs, provider visit, and our kit pictured above comes to $224, not including the medications they will need monthly to treat their condition. For many of our patients, that initial visit cost alone would be an insurmountable barrier to care without access to a free clinic.
Diabetes affects a significant number of people in our region, often alongside other chronic conditions. Early, consistent care is critical to preventing serious complications.
This is what accessible care looks like: catching disease early, supporting patients from day one, and removing cost as the reason someone goes without treatment. The clinic's Chronic Disease Management Program works with those living with conditions like diabetes that require a high level of care. We provide education, support, access to free resources and medication at no cost to help our neighbors live long, healthy lives, without worrying about the financial burden of being treated.
