Improving Diabetes Care and Outcomes on the South Side of Chicago

We aim to reduce widely documented disparities in diabetes, to increase awareness of diabetes issues, and to empower the South Side community to use its knowledge, partners and resources to combat this disease.

Our first Diabetes Cook-Off was a great success! Thanks to all who came out to our first Diabetes Cook-Off at the Washburne Culinary Institute/Kennedy-King College. Click here to see the winners!

Improving Diabetes Care and Outcomes on the South Side of Chicago is teaming up with Walgreens and Experimental Station to launch “Food Rx.” This initiative will help people with diabetes improve their eating habits by overcoming two major hurdles when shopping for food: access and affordability.
