Subsequently, Dr. Mejia will discuss Watts Healthcare’s implementation of the Center for Disease Control’s National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) and ADA’s Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support programs (DSME). Mr. Tompkins will provide a Payer’s perspective on how they can help support Diabetes Care Management. Additionally, we will learn about heart failure treatment innovations and implementation strategies to improve outcomes from Cedars Sinai’s Dr. Kransdorf.

Join us virtually by phone and/or computer to learn what local leaders are putting into practice to reduce morbidity and mortality from these two widespread chronic diseases. We hope that you can join us for this invigorating learning session.
