On Nov. 4 at 9 p.m. ET, CPESN® will host a Community Connected webinar focused on how pharmacy and health care teams can effectively engage in diabetes awareness, prevention, and self-management efforts through culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and equitable care in collaboration with community partners.
The session, held in recognition of American Diabetes Month, will describe current U.S. diabetes epidemiology trends and national statistics, including disparities impacting Native American populations, and review care strategies. The session will also identify opportunities to collaborate with community stakeholders to expand access to culturally responsive education, screening, and chronic disease services, and recognize myths, stigma, and cultural factors to support trauma-informed, culturally competent, and equitable diabetes care.
Community Connected is a CPESN initiative that prepares community pharmacies to thrive by delivering patient-centered services within the diverse communities where people live, eat, play, and pray.
