HOLYOKE — A new bilingual Diabetes Education and Support Group is launching at Holyoke Medical Center (HMC) to empower community members living with diabetes. The program aims to provide crucial education and a supportive environment for managing this chronic condition.
The group will convene every Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. in the conference room located on the third floor of the hospital’s Medical Office Building at 11 Hospital Dr., Holyoke.
“Being educated and having a better understanding of diabetes enables people to be more successful in controlling or even reversing the progression of their disease,” said Corina Valvo, Diabetes Program coordinator for the HMC Endocrinology & Diabetes Center. “Support group members will be able to discuss struggles and solutions they have found while managing their diabetes with others going through similar experiences.”
For more information or questions regarding the Diabetes Education and Support Group, call the HMC Endocrinology & Diabetes Center at (413) 534-2820.
