Want to lose weight, feel better, and prevent or delay type 2 diabetes?

How does it work?

The program includes lessons, handouts, and resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help you live a healthier lifestyle. This program can last up to two years.

In the first year of the program, you’ll attend a series of sessions to help you improve your diet, increase physical activity, and help manage life’s challenges. A lifestyle coach specifically trained to lead the program will support to meet your goals, provide personalized feedback, and help you maintain your progress. The coach also leads fun and engaging group discussions. Scroll down for a list of participating program sites.
