Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
White Mountain Apache Tribe - Apache Diabetes Wellness Center (ADWC) provides health, wellness, and fitness instruction to the 16,963 residents of the Ft. Apache Indian Reservation. Due to the incredibly high prevalence of diabetes, depression, and the lack of available healthy food sources, the reservation is experiencing a high epidemic of diabetic patients, especially after the pandemic.
As a result, there are a large number of deaths that are depression and diabetes-related, and a large number of patients on dialysis. Apache Diabetes Wellness Center is intent on providing intensive diabetes prevention intervention to a group of targeted individuals. In a collaborative effort, ADWC will work with referrals from our local (IHS) hospital to target these individuals.
Services will be offered to members, such as nutrition classes, food demonstrations, physical activities, personal trainer services, and services tailored to the specific needs of the identified clients. Participation is voluntary, and benchmarks have been established, including promotional items for retention.
Currently, an established practice is in place at the Apache Diabetes Wellness Center. We provide daily classes to enrolled clients. The classes we provide include Health Institute, Training for Life, Emotional Fitness, Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Breakfast Club, and newly added Conflict Resolution. These classes are taught by our behavioral health technicians.
We also provide physical activities for these clients by closing our fitness center for their personal use only. They engage in activities such as tracking BMI, developing treatment plans, setting goals, and have personal trainers on hand for their use. The practice of collecting bi-yearly BMI's has been ongoing for more than 5 years and has established itself as a baseline.
We expect to be able to compare these newly implemented services to this already established baseline to determine our rate of success in helping create a healthier living environment.
