What are the REACH activities?
• Train others to integrate the utilization of culturally tailored approaches, using a lay educator model to the extent feasible, to help prevent and/or manage Type 2 diabetes, into the operations or referral mechanisms of community organizations including medical clinics, faith settings, and small businesses that employ members of the priority communities. • Increase and/or enhance collaborations with partners, such as Steps to a Healthier US (Steps), Washington Health Foundation’s (WHF)Healthiest State Campaign, and the King County Food and Fitness Initiative (KCFFI), to disseminate culturally tailored approaches for primary prevention of diabetes and health promotion throughout King County and other areas of Washington State, and continue this implementation throughout the program. • Collaborate with local policy development entities, including the King County Equity & Social Justice Imitative (ESJI) with the goal of eliminating health inequities.
