Spotlight on AADE's D iabetes Preven tion Program Team 
HopeHealth, Inc
Florence, South Carolina

HopeHealth is a Federally Qualified Health Care Center that provides primary care, as well as a host of other specialty services, to people living in three counties of South Carolina. The Hope Health Diabetes Center is an AADE accredited program that provides diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) to individuals in Florence and via telehealth for patients, served at the clinics located in rural areas. In 2015, AADE chose the HopeHealth Diabetes Center to be one of three grant recipient organizations in South Carolina, to initiate and scale the National DPP in the Florence area.
 
HopeHealth began their first cohort in September of 2015. It was their largest group to date. This new program had two health coaches who worked together to lead the group. Several participants lost a significant amount of weight by the end of the year and four of them opted to continue as part of our fourth cohort w hich began several months later. They have two graduated cohorts and two are currently in post core. HopeHealth participants have experienced success having had a total of 51 participants, that came to at least four sessions! Their commitment to the program not only increased attendance rates, but also allowed them to stay on track and continue toward a healthier lifestyle.
 
There are currently four trained Lifestyle Coaches on staff: two are RDNs, one of which is a CDE. Another coach is a nurse who previously taught school for many years and thinks of creative ways to engage her participants and keep up their energy. She has become an avid exerciser and motivates her coworkers to exercise, as well. Another coach, though not a clinician, is a skilled leader because she is an amazing motivator and does not have a boring bone in her body!  Activities include having participants gather in the building Café to talk about eating out.
 

With a few cohorts under their belt, HopeHealth will take some of the lessons learned and implement techniques to increase recruitment, retention, and engagement as they plan to begin Cohorts 5 and 6. HopeHealth now offers a Ground Zero meeting to thoroughly explain the program and emphasize the level of commitment needed to attend a year-long program. They added five extra sessions, as many people do better with more frequent attendance. In addition, to the commitment agreement that they have participants sign, they added a readiness self-assessment. Before session four begins, they take the time to revisit both the commitment agreement and the readiness self-assessment. More recently, we discovered that their groups fare better with one dedicated coach leading. When they split sessions between two coaches, their weight loss outcomes suffered. HopeHealth recently began utilizing the new Prevent T2 curriculum, and they plan to strongly encourage food journaling and tracking.
 
With 17 primary care providers and two dietitians in their clinic, their physician referral chain is strong; they have a running list of interested patients, and have not yet had to market their program. HopeHealth has also been working with the South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control because they are focused on ensuring the National DPP is offered in every county of the state. They hope to utilize their telehealth capabilities to provide DPP to our clinics in other counties.
 
HopeHealth looks forward to providing more diabetes prevention classes to the community of Florence, SC and the surrounding areas. Their goal is to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, to help create a life-changing event for the patient to optimize their care and allow patients to continue to live life to the fullest, one step at a time.



Exercising Outside with Allergies
Spring has sprung! It is that time of the year, where days are starting to become longer and warmer and being outside is a requirement. This includes exercising outside. Except for some, spring comes with the onset of allergies due to excess pollen in the air. WebMD has a few tips on how to maintain your activity, while battling the unfavorable allergy season.
Find out what type of pollen you are allergic too, as most weather stations will provide daily pollen levels in the area. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology is a great place to monitor pollen levels as well.

Pollen levels vary depending on the time of the day. If you are aware of the pollen you are allergic too, it's helpful to find out when that specific pollen count is going to be higher.

Wearing a face mask can help protect you during levels of the day where there are higher pollen levels

  If you do exercise outside during a higher pollen count time, washing your face and rinsing your nostrils with saline can help remove any excess pollen and prevent inflamed allergies. Consult your doctor prior to using any nasal sprays.

Be mindful on the types of days you are active outside. For example, on days where it is dry, warm and windy, pollen levels can increase. Humidity can also be a factor as it encourages mold growth, which may induce allergies in some.

Chose a type of exercise that is conducive to you and your activity level.

Listen to your body. Allergy medication may cause drowsiness, which can be unsafe for an individual who is performing physical activity and a lways exercise with caution and consult with your physician, so your allergies and physical activity will be safe and healthy for you.
