Diabetes Education Program

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that requires many—and sometimes difficult—lifestyle changes. Hi-Desert Medical Center is proud to partner with Desert Regional Medical Center to bring their regionally-recognized diabetes education program to the hi-desert.

Program staff provides the tools you need to manage your diabetes. Your current needs and goals are assessed to develop an individualized education and treatment plan. This one-time program is designed for the newly diagnosed with diabetes or those who could benefit from review of the basics of managing the disease.  This class will help you control diabetes and reduce the risks of developing long-term complications.

This program is recognized as the only comprehensive one of its kind in the Morongo Basin. Recently, it was certified by the American Diabetes Association, meaning it meets the highest standards in the country for diabetes education.  Taught by Bobbie Anderson, RN, CDE, from Desert Regional Medical Center; she is certified as an instructor for this program.  Bobbie Anderson is pictured here demonstrating portion sizes to a program participant.
