Clinical Programs & Services:1.Medical Nutrition Therapy: The Center provides evidence-based self-management classes, proven to help individuals achieve improved clinical outcomes for those diagnosed with pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and/or chronic disease risk factors such as high BMI. These culturally-competent and bilingual health education classes teach families how to eat and live well, and successfully support patients on how to integrate behavioral changes and sustainable self-management practices that move the needle in health outcomes. Within a short timeframe, patients see tangible results in their biometric data, with improved blood glucose, lost pounds and lowered blood pressure. We achieve exceptional year over year clinical quality outcomes, measured by patient health metrics (such as HbA1c for patients with Type 2 Diabetes; weight lost and waist circumference for patients who are overweight or obese; and behaviors such as following a meal plan, measuring blood pressure regularly, and exercising at least 5 days a week).oTotal Program Expense: $600,048 (does not include management, administrative, or indirect costs)oFee for Service Revenue: $721,335 ($714,982 3rd party fees, $6,353 participantoTotal Number Served: 1370 unique patients2HeartWorks Cardiac Rehabilitation: The Centers cardiac rehabilitation program HeartWorks is a fully monitored, individualized exercise and education program that provides a solid foundation for cardiovascular rehabilitation through gradual, positive changes that supports patients in embracing new lifestyle patterns.
