How can my school participate in the Diabetes Screening and Support Program for Children and Teenagers in Mercer County?
Contact the program coordinator, Cathy Wright, at (609) 584-2877 for further information and to schedule an informational session for your district. School administration must first agree to district participation before the program can be implemented. Next, school principals agree to have their school participate via a signed letter of understanding. Then, school nurses in participating districts will participate in educational sessions designed to provide information on risk recognition, reduction and the screening and follow-up process.
