Diabetes on the Island

Diabetes is a problem on the three islands of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique. Sometimes it is due to poverty, sometimes it is due to lack of knowledge, and sometimes it is due to self neglect. But, whatever the reasons, we are trying to help improve this by education programs about skin and foot care,as well as medication adherence, etc. and diabetes general counseling at the health fairs. We will continue to reach out and get into the many 'hill' areas of the islands and make a difference through education and medical care. So let's go....

Podiatry Outreach Clinics- There are so many diabetics on teh island...and they all need education about their skin and feet...So here we go!

Hello all...we just found a a unique way that you can contribute to our projects just by shopping on line, buying airline tickets. etc. Try it out!

Compilation of health fairs pictures from around the island this year- 2008

It's that time of year...as we get ready for the holidays, we begin to take a look back on what we have done for the year. And so, that said, I was lucky to have someone put together a compilation of health fair pictures from all over the island that we have done from January now.
As I look back, and November rolls in, I think about all the people we have had the opportunity to help, meet, talk with, laugh with and even share some tears with...and I thank all of them from the bottom of my heart. In preparing for Thanksgiving in the US and just coming out of Thanksgiving in the islands...it is always good to review what we do, and what we can do BETTER.
