Prevention

of Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation was awarded
slightly over $2,000,000 over five years by the Department
of Health and Human Services to participate in a demonstration
project in the area of primary prevention of diabetes.
It is estimated that the grant will impact the lives
of 450 Native Americans in the Tuba City service area.
Starting in October 2005, local efforts undertaken by
the Health Promotion/Disease Prevention Department will
begin in screening and recruiting individuals diagnosed
with pre-diabetes. Individuals diagnosed with pre-diabetes
