The Diabetes Prevention Program is an evidenced based program that provides a supportive environment where participants work in a small group to learn about eating healthier and increasing physical activity in order to reduce the risk for developing diabetes. 

The program goals are to reduce body weight by 5% and increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week. 

The year-long program is delivered by trained facilitators using the Prevent T2 curriculum.  The core sessions meet beginning with 16 weekly sessions and transition to core maintenance sessions that meet monthly.
