What We Are Doing:

In 2000 PeaceHealth Medical Group (PHMG) launched its Diabetes Wellness Assessment Program. There are approximately 4,000 PHMG patients with diabetes automatically enrolled in the program.

Patients receive information from physicians to help them achieve optimal blood sugar control.
