Diabetes Wellness Center

The main goal of Wilson Memorial Hospital’s Diabetes Wellness Center is to allow patients with diabetes to gain greater power over their own health and well-being through education. Knowledge is very important to diabetes management, and many times, success is directly affected by the amount of support a person with diabetes receives. It's also important that those close to diabetics have the facts they need to help and encourage their loved ones.

Wilson’s diabetes education program started in 1982 and includes diabetes and insulin pump support groups, which are conducted by Wilson's Certified Diabetes Educators. An individual evaluation is often ordered by a physician for special diabetes concerns. These might include management of Type 1 diabetes, insulin management, insulin pump therapy, medication changes, condition changes, difficulty in reaching diabetes goals or for someone with special needs.

The Wilson Hospital Diabetes Wellness Center received an Education Recognition Certificate from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for outstanding diabetes self-management education. Wilson is one of the few hospitals in western Ohio to receive this designation.
