1. Diabetes Self Management Education
Providing group & personal education
Literacy is the key to solving health care. Diabetes care and education specialists are trained to provide collaborative, comprehensive, and person-centered care and education to people with diabetes.
Diabetes is a complex and challenging disease requiring daily self management decisions. Our Education programs ensures that patients and individuals at risk receive the education and support they need to navigate the intricacies of daily self management.
2.Medication and Supplies Assistance
Our supply assistance can include: Glucometers, test stripes, syringes and Insulin.
JKDF’s Medication Assistance Program provides a short-term supply of diabetes medication and supplies to children and adults who are struggling and in financial distress and cannot afford diabetes medications.
In addition to a short-term supply, JKDF directs the participant to a long-term medication solution to ensure that he or she can remain on track with their healthcare regimen.
In order to JOIN for this program, participants must have prescription(s) from an accredited physician.
3. Medical Transportation Assistance
Just a trip away from good health.
Whether patients are going to see an endocrinologist, primary physician, or a lab for a blood test, JK Diabetes Foundation’s Transportation Assistance Program helps individuals affected by diabetes to get to medical appointments when they can’t get there by themselves.
