Diabetes Screening Project
There are 35 million Americans who are 65 years or older. One in three seniors has diabetes; nearly 50% don't know it. Another 40% have pre-diabetes. All are at risk for serious health problems. To help address this growing figure, the Medicare Diabetes Screening Project: A National Drive to Find the Undiagnosed was created. Its goal - increase awareness of the benefits for diabetes screening that Medicare offers to seniors ages 65 and older. Our congregations are as caring communities an obvious source of information for people about this problem and this project. If you make use of these the folks would love to know. carmen@allisonpr.com |

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
