About the Appalachian Diabetes Control and Translation Project

Since 2001, the Appalachian Diabetes Control and Translation project has worked to prevent and control diabetes by working with community-based coalitions in rural undeserved counties in Appalachia. Currently there are 76 coalitions who are active members of the network. This project is a federal, state, and community partnership involving the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), and a team at the Robert C. Byrd Center for Rural Health at Marshall University. Visit our website for additional information.
