We Have To Do Something Different

 

Hico Health partners with Faith Based Organizations (FBOs) around the country to set up and maintain lifestyle change programs to teach church members how to manage their diabetes and hypertension more effectively.

 

Our communities are under siege from diabetes and show no signs of improvement.

 

African Americans are 1.7x more likely to have diabetes than Whites.

 

African Americans have greater vision loss, amputations and kidney failure in our communities from diabetes than Whites do.

​

African Americans are also more likely to suffer strokes as a result of diabetes.

​

Some of the reasons that contribute to widespread diabetes in our communities are;

• Low health literacy

• Poor food options in our neighborhoods

• Food insecurity

• Cultural 

• Economics

• Doctor bias/discrimination

• Lack of trust of medical industry

• Inadequate exercise

​

Our Hico DashBoard provides evidence-based diabetes curriculum, delivered through smartphones, that you can administer to your members.

​

Founded by a Pharmacist from the community, our program is safe, secure and effective.

​

Our on demand video education is based on the American Association of Diabetes Educators 7 Self Care Behaviors; the gold standard in diabetes self management education and advocacy.

​
