Project Purpose:
The purpose of Latinos Reduciendo el Diabetes (LaRED) is to reduce morbidity and mortality related to diabetes among Latinos by providing culturally and linguistically appropriate non-medical case management, individualized health education, and access to clinical services for diabetics.  The mission of Southeast Georgia Communities Project is to promote all aspects of human dignity through self-empowerment of farmworkers and other low-income residents to become partners and contributors in problem-solving and decision-making in the communities in which they live and work.

Project Service Area:
Southeast Georgia Communities Project will provide services to Latinos in Appling, Candler, Emanuel, Evans, Long, Tattnall and Toombs counties in rural Southeast Georgia.  The target population includes Latino families with one or more members diagnosed with diabetes.
