“Improving diabetes and obesity care takes collaboration across our community,” said Pedro Cons, CEO of Adelante Healthcare and chair member of State of Diabetes: Phoenix. “State of Diabetes brings people together to turn the latest evidence into practical steps that improve access to care and help more Arizonans thrive.”
Over 40 million Americans are living with diabetes, and every 21 seconds, someone is newly diagnosed. In Arizona, approximately 689,000 adults, or 10.2% of the adult population, have diagnosed diabetes. Each year, an estimated 42,000 adults in the state are diagnosed. Additionally, approximately 40% of the adult population are living with obesity. State of Diabetes is an annual community event that brings together employers, payers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders for meaningful discussions around diabetes and obesity prevention, treatment, cost, workplace wellness, and improving access to care.
This year’s event will feature an expert panel discussion: From Diabetes and Obesity Guidelines to Outcomes: Translating Evidence into Real-World Practice.
The event will include:
- A panel discussion led by distinguished experts sharing insights on diabetes and obesity
- A networking reception providing opportunities for attendees to collaborate and share ideas
- Interactive breakout activities designed to encourage deeper engagement on diabetes- and obesity-related topics
Attendees will also receive a variety of ADA resources designed to enhance diabetes prevention, management, and support, as well as access to a digital action-oriented toolkit summarizing key insights and strategies.
Media interested in previewing or attending the event can schedule an interview by emailing [email protected].
