Diabetes Prevention Town Hall
Henry Ford Health partnered with the Chaldean Community Foundation to host a Diabetes Prevention Town Hall on September 22. The presentation was conducted in Arabic by Dr. Raya Kutaimy, M.D., with English translation provided by Dr. Rena Daiza, M.D.
Topics of discussion included key benchmarks and statistics regarding diabetes, symptoms, warning signs to watch for, and tips for maintaining a healthy diet.
The event also featured interactive displays that showed the sugar contents of commonly consumed soft drinks and juices. Davenport University nursing students also provided free blood pressure screenings for those who attended the Town Hall.
