Carthage, IL – As Diabetes Alert Day, March 26, Memorial Hospital proudly highlights the strides made in diabetes care under the leadership of Kayce Fuhrman, Director of Diabetes Services. With a focus on innovation and community outreach, Memorial Hospital is revolutionizing diabetes management for patients and the broader community.
One of the key initiatives led by Fuhrman is the comprehensive certification and education program on insulin pump technology, specifically the Omnipod system. This program equips healthcare providers with the latest knowledge and skills to effectively support patients utilizing insulin pumps, ensuring optimal diabetes management and improved patient outcomes.
In addition to insulin pump education, Fuhrman is dedicated to advancing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology, awareness, and education. By staying at the forefront of CGM advancements, Memorial Hospital Diabetic Services empowers patients with valuable insights into their glucose levels, leading to more personalized and proactive diabetes management.
Recognizing the importance of accessible education, Memorial Hospital’s Diabetic Services have expanded its diabetes education programs beyond Carthage to Memorial Medical Clinics LaHarpe and Memorial Medical Clinics Colchester. These initiatives aim to reach a wider audience and provide essential resources and guidance to individuals and families affected by diabetes, fostering a healthier community overall.
Furthermore, as part of its commitment to preventative care, Memorial Hospital Diabetic Services offers A1C screenings within the community and surrounding communities. These screenings play a crucial role in the early detection and monitoring of diabetes, allowing individuals to take proactive steps toward managing their health and well-being.
