Addressing the 🧑🏽‍⚕️

As a care clinic dedicated to improving community health, we believe tackling the diabetes epidemic requires a shift in how we approach prevention.

In our clinic, we see the impact of diabetes every day, especially among patients in disadvantaged neighborhoods. We believe a solution lies not only in patient education but also in changes at the community level.

As providers, we know our role includes helping patients manage diabetes and prevent complications. But real, sustainable change requires a community-wide effort that makes the easiest choices. By supporting policy changes and community-level initiatives, we believe our clinic, alongside many others, can make a meaningful difference in reducing the prevalence of diabetes and improving quality of life for everyone. This would reduce the pressure on individuals to make difficult food choices by creating an environment where healthier options are both visible and accessible.

This first-person approach emphasizes a community-centered perspective while calling for systemic changes to support individuals in making healthier choices.

✨To kick off National Health Center Week, August 4-10, the White House issued a proclamation recognizing the vital role of Community Health Centers like First Person Care Clinic in ensuring health care is a right, not a privilege.

✨Federally funded centers are a lifeline for over 30 million Americans, providing affordable access to quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services that save lives.

✨Our Medical Centers are especially crucial for people in Tribal, rural, and underserved communities, often being the closest and most convenient sources of care.

✨During this week, we acknowledge the importance of the nearly 1,400 federally funded community health centers and express our gratitude to our dedicated staff, who tirelessly work for patients' well-being.
