NYAIL is partnering with the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) to expand the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to New Yorkers with disabilities. NACDD is one of 10 national organizations that has received funding from the Center for Disease Control to expand the DPP program to underserved areas and priority populations.

As NACDD’s state partner in New York, NYAIL subcontracts with three ILCs to offer the DPP program to people who are prediabetic in the following six counties. Contact the ILC near you for more information or to sign-up for the Diabetes Prevention Program.
