LRHS Educational Program exceeds American Diabetes Association standards
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — The American Diabetes Association recently continued recognition of Lake Regional Health System’s diabetes self-management program.
The ADA Education Recognition Program assesses whether applicants meet the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education. It is one of only two national accreditation programs approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for diabetes self-management training.
Lake Regional’s program first was recognized by the ADA in 2001. A random audit of the program was conducted in August to ensure the national standards still were being followed.
Diabetes is a very manageable disease when patients have the right information. Lake Regional’s caring, experienced staff teaches patients how to control diabetes by eating healthy, exercising and taking prescribed medications.
“Diabetes education provides individuals with the tools they need to manage diabetes,” said Program Coordinator Tara Randle, M.S., R.D., L.D. “Education should be included in every individual’s plan to living well with this chronic illness.”
Individuals with diabetes who are interested in enrolling in the program should contact their physician for a referral. Training includes individual and group classes. For more information, contact Tara Randle at 573-302-2736.
Lake Regional Health System provides comprehensive health care services to the residents and visitors of the lake region. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and is a past recipient of the Missouri Quality Award. Lake Regional Health System also operates primary care, specialty and rehab therapy clinics, retail pharmacies and home health services throughout the lake area.
