2008 Year in Review

Diabetes Awareness Series

Just “What is Diabetes and How Do Women Manage It?” Those topics will be discussed by Cynthia Kreutzer, RNC, BSN, MS, a nurse practitioner at Whiteside County Community Health Clinic, as part of a Diabetes Awareness Day series which starts Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008.

The free program will begin at 5:30 p.m. in CGH Medical Center’s Ryberg Auditorium, 100 E. LeFevre Rd., Sterling. The information provided is for women. Guests are welcome. A light supper break will follow the presentation, along with opportunities to visit various Awareness Booths and participate in a Table Talk Support Group. Other local health education opportunities for self-management will be shared as well.

Women attending the program will receive a voucher for a free Hemoglobin A1C test at Whiteside County Community Health Clinic. The test will give a baseline measurement of Diabetes control.

Don’t miss this great chance to start the year knowing how to manage your diabetes and improve your life.

Future Diabetes Awareness Day programs will take place March 26, April 23 and May 15, with details to be announced. The series is supported with a grant through the Illinois Department of Public Health, Office of Women’s Health.

Although the program is free, advance registration is required by Feb. 20. To register, or to ask questions, call (815) 626-2230, ext. 1227, and ask for Karen.
