Our guiding principle is that community residents are those best able to decide what resources or actions are most likely to be effective in their community.
The three Indianapolis communities involved in the Diabetes Impact Project include the Near Northwest, the Near West, and Northeast neighborhoods.
All three of these areas were selected because residents have high rates of diabetes and complications of diabetes, as well as high-risk levels for getting diabetes.
These communities were also chosen because of the strong community structures and partnerships that are already in place to help support a quality of life initiative such as this.
