An innovative initiative is helping local diabetic patients insured proper foot care. The SHOES FOR HEALTH PROGRAM aims to diminish complications among uninsured diabetic individuals living in Savannah and surrounding areas. This program
will be implemented as a partnership between Community Health Mission (formerly know as Community Healthcare Center/Savannah Health Mission) and Positive Image Prosthetics and Orthotics, INC and PIPO MISSIONS, INC.

The main objectives of this program are:
1. Promote awareness of the need for annual foot screening and examinations for individuals with diabetes and make appropriate referrals to podiatrists and other foot care providers;
2. Target high-risk minority populations, including African- American, Hispanic Americans, and Native- Americans, for annual foot and vision care.
3. Promote interdisciplinary diabetes management and appropriately timed referrals. |
