Rhode Island Diabetes Health Equity Challenge 2020 Update

The Rhode Island Diabetes Health Equity Challenge teams are currently in the "sprint" phase of their action plans. Teams met on July 14th for a Momentum Call and presented on their progress. Somava Saha MD, MS, Executive Director Lead from Well Being in the Nation facilitated the discussion on the challenges and barriers teams might be experiencing, as well as "Applying Design Thinking to Create a Bias Toward Action." The WE Team offered the teams tools and models to address improvement and design thinking. Teams continue to huddle weekly and CTC-RI will continue sharing updates on this important work focused on improving the health and social outcomes for people living with diabetes by addressing systemic inequities in the context of COVID-19.
