Jefferson County Public Health Department, WA

NACCHO is currently offering technical assistance support to local health departments to improve their capacity to develop or enhance health promotion programs for people living with disabilities through coordination of existing health department and community services.

Jefferson county Public Health Department is receiving technical assistance from Alameda County Public Health Department and created a type 2 diabetes program entitled It Ain’t So Sweet, which has the capacity to build an even greater awareness of diabetes for developmental disabled people and their caregivers.
