Innovation Spotlight- Triple Aim: New York Hospitals Are Improving Health, Enhancing Quality, and Reducing Costs (by our partners at HANYS)
The prevalence of diabetes, especially among underserved communities and populations, is a principal public health concern. Studies have shown that lifestyle interventions can effectively deter the development of diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases. In 2011, the Center for Community Health and Prevention of the University of Rochester Medical Center launched the Rochester Diabetes Prevention Program to increase community capacity for diabetes prevention through lifestyle change. Rochester Medical Center’s DPP expands access to high-quality preventive care for diabetes and obesity — chronic disease prevention priority areas in New York State’s Prevention Agenda.
