Diabetes Education

Helping You Navigate Diabetes

At Star Valley Health, it is our mission to encourage our community to pursue the best health possible.  For many, this entails education on diet, exercise, stress relief, medication management, and much more.

We offer a nationally-accredited diabetes education program to support you on your journey. Over the course of nine weekly sessions you’ll receive important insights from a dynamic team, including a dietitian, pharmacist, and nurse-certified diabetes educator.
