NCHPH partnered with members of the Special and Vulnerable Population Diabetes Task Force to provide a Learning Collaborative (LC) addressing critical issues to improve diabetes control in health centers nationally. NCHPH provided expertise in public housing primary care and provided a more in-depth exploration of strategies, tools, and resources needed to create positive change in diabetes control among health center patients. The LC sessions also provided in-depth knowledge and skills in order to address the unique needs of people experiencing homelessness, residents of public housing, migratory and seasonal agricultural workers, school-aged children, older adults, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, LGBT people, and other vulnerable populations.
