Baltimore Project Homeless Connect

The other day, Operation Diabetes partnered with UMBC Pre-Pharmacy Club to educate patients on the actual healthiness of their drinks, and provided handouts on how to read nutrition labels and prepare a healthy food plate


Handouts were also given on how to manage diabetes and decrease risks of serious long term complications.


To encourage medication adherence, patients currently taking medications were provided a Script Your Future Medication Adherence Medication card to help the patients keep track of their medications!


Genesis Fellowship Bible Health Fair

Changing to a healthier lifestyle can be hard and frustrating. This is where Operation Diabetes comes in to help make this change easier!


The other day, MOD volunteered at the Genesis Fellowship Bible Church and educated church-goers on how to lead a healthier lifestyle and better control their blood sugar. Faculty helped answer  questions about medications and healthy granola bar snacks were given out. 


       Also, MOD got a chance to talk to individuals about their eating habits and the importance of change especially for those who had a high risk based on their Diabetes Risk Assessment!




APhA & SNPhA Diabetes Fair

In health care, collaboration is important! 


Not long ago, MOD went to help out at a diabetes fair at Bon Secours Hospital, where Operation Diabetes worked with SNPhA to provide diabetes education to the public and hospital staff. Together, we made a difference in the hospital community!
