The American Association of Diabetes Educators has recognized Platte Valley Medical Center’s Diabetes Program as one that meets national criteria for superior diabetes education in both English and Spanish. Participants receive tailored individual and group education in a fun, relaxed setting with a variety of experts in the field. Medicare and most health plans cover all or a portion of the cost and a physician’s referral is required.
