“It’s important that this walk and the funds that\nsupport it contribute to the work of Herkimer County HealthNet, mostly because\nthe proceeds stay local,\u201d said Althea Noyes, Walk for Wanda Chairperson. \u201cPreventing\ntype-2 diabetes and living well with diabetes is an important focus.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herkimer County HealthNet’s Diabetes Prevention and Living\nWell with Diabetes workshops help participants enhance skills to maintain\nactive and fulfilling lifestyles. Our goal is to provide community education\nthat supports development of the knowledge, skill, and confidence to live well with\ndiabetes and to learn new behaviors for diabetes prevention.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
