Holyoke Medical Center Offers Diabetes Education, Support Group

HOLYOKE — Holyoke Medical Center (HMC) will host an ongoing bilingual Diabetes Education and Support Group for community members with diabetes. Diabetes education will be provided at each meeting with a certified diabetes care and education specialist or member of the HMC Endocrinology & Diabetes Center team.

The group will meet every Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. in the hospital’s Medical Office Building conference room, located on the third floor of 11 Hospital Dr., Holyoke.

“Being educated and having a better understanding of diabetes enables people to be more successful in controlling or even reversing the progression of their disease. Support group members will be able to discuss struggles and solutions they have found while managing their diabetes with others going through similar experiences,” said Corina Valvo, Diabetes Program coordinator for the HMC Endocrinology & Diabetes Center.
