About the Program

Based in the Wenatchee area, Community Choice proudly reaches out to dozens of leaders and participants every year through the Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Program. Our Spanish and our English-speaking leaders make the difference in hundreds of people's health and lives within the Chelan-Douglas and Okanogan counties.​

Subjects We Cover

• techniques to deal with the symptoms of diabetes, fatigue, pain, hyper/hypoglycemia, stress, and emotional problems such as depression, anger, fear and frustration
• healthy eating
• appropriate use of medication
• working more effectively with health care providers

Participants will make weekly action plans, share experiences, and help each other solve problems they encounter in creating and carrying out their self-management program. Physicians, diabetes educators, dietitians, and other health professionals both at Stanford and in the community have reviewed all materials in the workshop.
