To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and to recognize those in the Hispanic/Latino American population who have, or are at risk for, diabetes, the American Diabetes Association, through a grant from the Abbott Fund, is introducing its new Adult Prevention Toolkit designed specifically for community-based and faith-based organizations in Hispanic/Latino communities.
The toolkit provides organizations with comprehensive and culturally relevant information on diabetes and healthy living. Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the American Diabetes Association will also be hosting Feria de Salud Por Tu Familia, an outdoor Latino health festival in cities across the United States. This autumn, Feria events will officially launch on September 13, 2008, in New York City's South Bronx. Other Feria events will also be held in Laredo, TX on September 20, San Jose, CA on September 21, and Dallas, TX and Miami, FL both on September 27. There will also be one Feria in November in Los Angeles, CA. For more information please see:
