Diabetes Tele-Education Program

Increasing Access to Diabetes Care and Education

Our diabetes tele-education program is offered at no cost to Critical Access Hospitals, health districts, community health centers, senior living facilities, and community organizations located in areas with limited access to diabetes education. All classes are now recorded and available on demand, allowing individuals with diabetes to view them at their convenience. This initiative is supported by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the UVA Office of Telemedicine.

Since 2008, the program has served participants at more than 60 sites across Virginia. Nearly all participants report feeling more confident and better equipped to manage their diabetes as a result of what they learned through the program.
