Community Health Centers are making a measurable difference in the fight against diabetes.

In 2025, Community Health Centers provided care to 3.7 million patients with diabetes, helping 73.6% achieve blood sugar control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c levels. These outcomes contributed to an estimated $24 billion in healthcare savings.

This , we're highlighting the vital role Community Health Centers play in helping patients prevent and manage diabetes through education, nutrition counseling, regular screenings, and personalized, whole-person care.

Better health outcomes. Lower healthcare costs. That's the value of Community Health Centers.
