The "Clinical Initiative Project" was implemented to strengthen clinical programming, better equip chapters in conducting initiatives, and increase chapter participation. The primary focus of the Clinical Initiative is to evaluate the level of impact we are making on a national level in communities with health disparities. The data will be collected using the monthly reports and corresponding initiative report forms that chapters are required to submit within 30 days to the national executive board.

SNPhA is in strong support of Diabetes as one of our clinical initiatives. Diabetes currently effects 23.6 million adults and children in the United States. Roughly 25% of these patients are unaware of their condition. In addition to these staggering statistics Medicare has shown that at least 1 out of every 4 adults (~ 57 million people) are living with prediabetes. SNPhA has accepted the challenge to educate patients on disease state management, lifestyle modifications, medication therapy, and monitoring related to Diabetes. Chapters will be award CIC points based on clinical programming targeting the before mentioned educational topics and health screenings. Please visit www.diabetes.org and www.worlddiabetesday.org for all the latest updates, educational sources, and events for future participation.
