Project Diabetes
In 2007, the Tennessee Department of Health awarded several Baptist Memorial hospitals Project Diabetes grants that enable the hospitals to offer free classes on a variety of diabetes-related topics. Project Diabetes grants were awarded to health care providers throughout the state for education, prevention, and treatment of pre-diabetes and diabetes. The grants are targeted at new, expanded, or innovative approaches to address these disease conditions. The classes are free to Tennessee residents only.
