Verde Valley Medical Center’s (VVMC) Diabetes Education Program is reaching out to embrace the diabetic community and their loved ones by hosting monthly diabetes support groups. These local groups provide a supportive and sharing environment for all individuals, family members and friends affected by the disease.

The January support group is 5 – 7 p.m., Monday, Jan. 24 in VVMC’s Conference Rooms B and C. To kick off the New Year, a panel of guests who have been living with diabetes will share their inspiring stories. Afterwards, panel members will be available for a Q&A session. To R.S.V.P., call VVMC at 928 639-6346; walk-ins welcome.

VVMC hosts diabetes support groups the fourth Monday of each month. Meetings focus on diabetes management and education. Patients, families and those affected by diabetes are welcome to participate.
