And with no cure for diabetes, health care professionals at UCHealth are focusing on prevention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiabetes is becoming an epidemic,\u201d said Karen Brueggen, nurse manager for The Center for Diabetes at UCHealth\u2019s Poudre Valley Hospital and Medical Center of the Rockies. \u201cWe not only have to focus on those with diabetes, but we also need to help those who are at risk of developing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Diabetes Prevention Program\u2019s fall classes begin in August, and preregistration is required to verify eligibility. Call the center at <span class=\"baec5a81-e4d6-4674-97f3-e9220f0136c1\">970.495.8205<\/span> for more information or to register for one of these sessions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting Aug. 24 at PVH in Fort Collins; classes are 5:30-6:30 p.m. every Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>Starting Aug. 31 at PVH in Fort Collins; classes are noon to 1 p.m. every Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>Starting Sept. 7 at MCR in Loveland; classes are 5:30-6:30 p.m. every Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>Starting Sept. 13 at Poudre Valley Medical Fitness in Windsor; classes are 5:30-6:30 p.m. every Tuesday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The class curriculum \u2014 designed by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \u2014 will help participants lose weight and be more physically active. Obesity is a major risk factor for both diabetes and prediabetes, said program coordinator Linda Schoon.<\/p>\n<p>Participants meet with a lifestyle coach once a week for 16 weeks by attending a one-hour class with other class participants.\u00a0The remaining seven months, participants will attend a biweekly meeting for two months then monthly meetings for five months.<\/p>\n<p>The sessions help participants develop lifestyle changes that could improve their diets, eating habits and activity levels, as well as work on stress management and tackle barriers that may be in their way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause behavior changes take a long time, the National Diabetes Prevention Program built in those seven monthly classes after the initial 16-week sessions,&#8221; Schoon said. \u201cIt is a well-organized program that not only is rewarding but also includes fun activities, with a goal of weight loss and emotional well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People seeking mental health services at UCHealth\u2019s Mountain Crest Behavioral Health Center in northern Colorado are getting the added benefits of sunshine, thanks to community support that helped raise funds for three outdoor patio areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot of research on the benefits of sunshine,\u201d said Monica Smith, the center\u2019s executive director. \u201cAnd until now, we haven\u2019t had that opportunity to allow our patients to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mountain Crest held its second annual fundraiser recently, raising more than $9,000. It\u2019s enough to build a secure outdoor area for the center\u2019s adolescent inpatient program, Smith said, adding that she hopes to have it constructed by the end of the year. Two outdoor adult areas were constructed earlier this year. They were funded by more than $6,000 from the center\u2019s 2015 fundraiser and the remainder from community donations and the PVH and MCR Foundation, she added.<\/p>\n<p>The two fundraisers were the center\u2019s firsts and evolved after <a href=\"https:\/\/fortcollinschamber.com\/program\/leadership-fort-collins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leadership Fort Collins<\/a> approached UCHealth to see if they could assist in facilitating fundraising efforts in order to support mental health efforts in northern Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>After a successful first fundraiser with support from UCHealth leaders and employees, Smith said Leadership Fort Collins asked if they could help the center with a second event.<\/p>\n<p>The new outdoor areas will be showcased during a community open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 15 at Mountain Crest, 4601 Corbett Drive, in Fort Collins. Look for more details on the open house closer to the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without intervention, a person with prediabetes \u2014 blood sugar levels in the danger zone but not yet diabetes \u2014 is likely to be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in less than a decade.
