Overview
Prevention & management of chronic diseases.
The Community Health Program is designed to further increase health equity and improve health outcomes by creating a cohort of community-based organizations throughout the country to prevent and manage Type 2 diabetes and hypertension for vulnerable and underserved populations. Our first and second cohorts are utilizing a variety of approaches with their patient clients – health screenings, nutrition classes, cooking demonstrations, physical fitness options and access to healthy foods – all delivered in a manner uniquely suited to the needs of their communities. The program provides technical assistance webinars and other educational resources, along with financial support up to $50,000 per year for each cohort participant (renewable up thru three years).
The Community Health Program is made possible, in part, through a generous contribution provided by

With the AMAF’s grant support, La Maestra was able to expand and enhance their programming by implementing the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum and becoming a CDC recognized DPP site.
