title: The Wisconsin Diabetes Control Program: a health systems and community-based approach.
abstract: The Wisconsin Diabetes Control Program will address the health needs of people with diabetes by working closely with the Wisconsin Affiliate of the American Diabetes Association and other diabetes health professionals in the state. The 5-year program will use both health systems and community-based approaches to coordinate prevention, detection, and control activities required to reduce the burden of this chronic condition. This program represents a major shift in focus from previous diabetes control programs supported by the CDC, and is designed to establish the program as a key component of an evolving health care environment.
