2016 California Diabetes Awareness Month ~ Victory Garden Project

Stockton, CA ~ Each year when November rolls around, people begin thinking about the common disease that affects around 30 million people in the United States and over 4 million people in California alone. In the California Central Valley, diabetes is a chronic disease, impacting our communities in a negative way.

Diabetes affects people of all ages and causes many health concerns in the body. It is especially crucial people are aware at high risk for this disease to learn a new community based approach to manage diabetes.

We close the 2016 California Diabetes Awareness Month by introducing our Victory Garden Project to expand access to fresh fruits and vegetables throughout underserved communities in the California Central Valley.

Central Valley Diabetes Self Management Program works in partnership with regional doctors to help patients manage diabetes toward better health outcomes. Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ, 3368 Bellview St., Stockton, CA 95206 is poised to become a bright beacon of light in the heart of South Stockton.
