Diabetes Prevention and Control

The Ohio Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (ODPCP) strives to improve Ohioans' access to quality diabetes care and services for the purpose of reducing the burden of diabetes and its complications. Our goal is to make Ohio the place where people with diabetes live better lives. We work to establish a widely accepted statewide plan for the control of diabetes, while placing a priority on reaching high-risk, under-served and disproportionately affected populations. We intend to achieve such a statewide plan through establishing a network of diabetes care, prevention and awareness of the burden of diabetes in Ohio.
 

Promoting:

• Increased awareness of diabetes and its complications.
• Quality care and equal access to such care.
• Partnerships.
• Community involvement and capacity building.
• Utilization of data to better apply resources and improve health outcomes.
• Advocacy.
   

The ODPCP began in 1979 and is located in the Office of Healthy Ohio, Bureau of Health Promotion and Risk Reduction.
