I'm just a little bit ... thanks health and diabetes awareness we get treatment easy with regional center with the only your people so much for coming should tell me about this partnership.

You guys have and what shares are.

He carried on finance we're taking him to address by the kentucky gray around provider practice information where the regional extension centers really seen a trusted advisor strategic satellite healthcare providers across the day really looking for them to provide guidance and help improve the overall quality of care for patients that have diabetes treats only is doing the kentucky we do extension center exists to help clinicians providers and practices across kentucky.

We specifically focus a lot on rural and underserved populations in eastern and western kentucky with this partnership with united health care and that's what we focus on as well as practices and i we provide technical assistance an access to evidence-based care and things that we felt so important this project with united was really connecting providers with information abou resources in the community that can help patients manage their disease not only when there with the doctor, but also between visits to their doctor in so we really focused on diabetes self- management education and connecting patients to those resources that such ugo because we find that when patients are going to the doctor.

The doctor may sometimes goes with second exact same last summer saw your got worse.

What's going on here is because that time in between a lot of times where they're not taking care of themselves right absolutely no busy practices they know they see patients coming in and really focus on the day-to-day visits we this project was taken a step back and look at us and disturb their practice how they're dealing with patients with diabetes and figure out where there were gaps and to help connect them to look at and evidence-based resources to community resource that can help them with their patients and looking at their data the practice from the person of your patients have their diabetes hemagglutinin a went to the key measure of overall control of the disease looking at that measure and seeing we might miss some folks who would come back in to make sure that their blood sugars under control for helping practices with those type when like to do something that you might healthcare gets behind it and releases a week.

We want to be a part of this task.

Our mission is to help you with healthier lives health care for everyone this partnership reall alive by way uk regional extension centers at their mission and what their expertise is again being trusted resource for my party establishing community, actually) when we do coming to market and see you i'm collaborating with local partners have that ill and establish relationship against all and healthy life.

Actually, this isn't a sense something is ever-changing item in the way we handle this way we treat this i always gather the burden of diabetes in contact is really great and he can be a terrible disease.

I managed well over the person that condition and so i really commend united healthcare for the partnership that we haven't really working with us.
