This national webinar will take a deep dive into consumer perspectives on diabetes prevention and strategies to better include the experience of health center consumers at decision-making tables. Guest speakers will represent consumers and staff of health center programs and will share specific recommendations for supporting diabetes prevention through stronger provider-consumer relationships.
