A large hospital system suspected a significant percentage of their employee population were at risk or currently prediabetic. They created an in-house Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) based upon national guidelines, a strategy that is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes among people who have prediabetes or who are at risk of type 2 diabetes. Wellvation collaborated with the client to achieve their objectives, track and manage participation and measure program impacts.
