for the Advancement of Community Care
It is the mission of the Brancati Center to improve the health of communities by developing new models of healthcare in partnership with community organizations. Our Center is organized into three well-integrated units: Community Program Implementation, Education, and Community-based Research. Our focus is on providing access to evidence-based programs through partnerships with the community where people live, as well as to demonstrate outcomes.
The newest edition of the Brancati Center Bulletin is now available. In this issue we spend some time talking about how to stay healthy during the holidays. We are seeing a spike in flu cases early this season and this, along with COVID-19 and another virus, RSV, makes us concerned about a "triple-demic." RSV is already filling many children's hospitals. Vaccines, masks, and social distancing may be even more important now than ever.
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and we give some tips on how to eat well through all of the holiday gatherings. We are pleased to announce that we are recruiting for the DECIDE Power to Control Diabetes program adults living with diabetes. Finally, we shine a spotlight on our Director of Education, Dr. Tanjala Purnell; under her leadership we hope to build a pipeline of health care professionals to serve our community for years to come.
