WADENA-Tri-County Health Care is partnering with the University of Minnesota Extension to offer the "I CAN Prevent Diabetes" program.
In this free program, participants will learn how to create a healthier lifestyle to help prevent diabetes. Anyone who is at risk for diabetes, has been told by their medical provider that they were at risk or have had a lab test that revealed they have pre-diabetes is welcome to attend.
