Are you at risk? 💭 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of three American adults has prediabetes – and most do not know it.
Garnet Health offers the DPP as a free, scientifically proven, and effective lifestyle program that can help prevent or delay Type 2 Diabetes. The FreshRx Program aims to address food insecurity, improve diet-related health outcomes, and reduce healthcare usage and costs by providing nutrition, cooking, and physical activity education. Cornell Cooperative Extension offers two series of (6) classes: "Eat Healthy, Be Active," and "Cooking Matters in Your Community.” Both the DPP and CCE classes count as part of the eligibility for the FreshRx Program. Eligible individuals can earn up to $240 per year to spend on fresh produce at local participating farmer's markets in Orange County.
