Setting
Five communities in rural Central New York State.
  • Moravia
  • Cincinnatus
  • DeRuyter/Cuyler
  • Marathon
  • Cortland

3
Target Population
  • The target population served by the Family Health
    Network of Central New York in Cortland and
    contiguous counties is primarily rural and
    low-income with one of the highest diabetes
    mortality rates and one of the lowest
    self-monitoring rates in the State.

Trends in Overweight and Obesity Among New York
State Adults
5
  • According to the American Diabetes Association,
    reducing body weight by 5-7 (10-15lbs) along
    with a weekly exercise regimen (2.5 hours) can
    help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 58.
    Family Health Network (FHN) has developed a free
    community program to encourage weight loss
    through diet and exercise.

Remember
  • Losing weight, for some of us, will be one of the
    biggest challenges of our lives. Our reasons for
    embarking on a weight loss journey are intensely
    personal and individual.
