Savannah City Leaders Launch Medicare Diabetes Screening Project
Date:7/21/2009

DSP and the screening benefits that Medicare offers their patients.

Also planned are a series of educational seminars at local senior centers and other community locations, to be coordinated and implemented by the Coastal Area Agency on Aging.

The most currently-available estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that the prevalence of diabetes is 25% higher in the state of Georgia as compared to the national average (10% versus 8%, respectively). The CDC also estimates that 10.7% of all adults ages 20 and older in Chatham County have diabetes.

The Medicare Diabetes Screening Project in Savannah is a community-based effort to reach and motivate seniors who have undiagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetes, and encourage them to see their doctors or other health care providers, and take advantage of the free diabetes screening benefits offered by Medicare.
