Southeast program to fight diabetes awarded nearly $10 million by HHS
Date:5/8/2012

DURHAM, N.C. - A plan to reduce death and disability from Type 2 diabetes among at-risk populations in four, underserved Southeastern counties is among the first Health Care Innovation Challenge Award recipients announced today by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

"Geospatial mapping and analysis will combine medical information and community information so that interventions can meet both individual patient and larger community needs," said Marie Lynn Miranda, director of Michigan's National Center for Geospatial Medicine, which includes an office in Durham.

The information will serve as the basis for intervention de
