The African American Diabetes Association (AADA) focuses on community engagement, outreach and support services for Black communities disproportionately affected by diabetes and related complications.
While we don't directly provide medical care, here are some ways the AADA helps:
Culturally Relevant Resources:
We develop educational materials and programs specifically for Black audiences, considering cultural aspects of health and wellness.
Community Partnerships:
AADA collaborates with faith-based organizations, churches, barbershops, and other trusted institutions within Black communities to deliver diabetes support programs.
Community Engagement:
AADA conducts outreach to raise awareness about diabetes and its risk factors through community events, public education campaigns, and partnerships with healthcare providers.
Advocacy:
AADA advocates for policies that address healthcare disparities and ensure access to affordable health insurance for those at risk of or living with or at risk of diabetes.
