GRANTS AND GIFTS
Trinity Health has received $12.5 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to start a hub to provide diabetes prevention programming to adults over 65 and Black and Latino/Hispanic adults 18 or older who are at risk
for type 2 diabetes. The Trinity Health hub will be one of four in the nation. It will offer a 12-month lifestyle change program designed to help participants achieve moderate weight loss through healthy eating habits and increased physical activity.
The hub's overall goals are to improve access to its programming, reduce disparities in outcomes, increase the use of existing coverage benefits, and work to expand payer coverage of this evidence-based intervention.

and expand a respiratory therapy program.
