Partners & Community Organizations
NDEP’s success is due to its extensive partnership network of over 200 partners at the federal, state, and local level. They include professional associations, national service and civic organizations, and community groups. Through the efforts of our partners, NDEP effectively extends its reach to target audiences: people with diabetes and their families, people at risk for type 2 diabetes, health care professionals, payers and purchasers of health care, and policy makers.
Who can become an NDEP partner? You can make a difference in diabetes prevention and control by taking an active role in this important program. All organizations, associations, and groups promoting NDEP messages and materials are considered a partner. If you or your organization is active at the local or state level, NDEP encourages you to join your State Diabetes Prevention and Control Program’s efforts to expand the reach of NDEP messages and activities. These programs are existing members of the NDEP Partnership Network. NDEP partners support and promote NDEP messages, campaigns, and materials. For example, they can:
- Adopt NDEP’s messages and promote them within their organization and to the communities they serve.
- Adapt and tailor messages for target audiences as appropriate.
- Disseminate information and materials to media, community organizations, and target audiences.
- Coordinate education activities and share resources with other partner organizations.
- Use NDEP resources to modify the health care delivery system to improve quality and access.
