Pharmacies throughout Arkansas are stepping up to provide diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) programs, thanks to a new partnership with AR Health Ventures and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ Institute for Community Health Innovation. This initiative aims to empower rural residents living with diabetes by equipping them with essential knowledge and resources to effectively manage their condition.
The collaboration is designed to address the unique challenges faced by diabetic patients in rural areas, where access to healthcare and educational resources can be limited. By integrating DSMES programs into local pharmacies, the initiative seeks to create a supportive environment for patients to learn about diabetes management, including nutrition, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications.
This program is a significant step toward improving health outcomes for diabetic individuals in Arkansas, fostering a community-centered approach to healthcare that emphasizes education and support. As pharmacies take on this vital role, they are poised to become key players in the fight against diabetes in the state.
