The funds will be used to help support the mission of creating and developing the vision of this academy. The imperative need for daily health and wellness coupled with education and support systems where students spend the vast majority of their day is critical. The Families and the caregivers of children and those who struggle with diabetes and other chronic diseases, can utilize the ongoing daily education and prevention support to help alleviate the depression, stresses, and up and downs chronic disease can bring.
The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C. envisions blended relationships between student, parents, caregivers and specialists incorporated with education on a daily basis as a solution to the challenge of consistent chronic disease management. “Our learning environment will provide students with the support to become active participants in disease management and guardians of their own ongoing health,” says Gardner.
