Project Goal
Through a partnership with the Lions of Multi-District 28, 91¶ÌÊÓƵ, and Primary Children’s Hospital Intermountain, our goal is to develop a year-round, community environment that inspires and supports healthy lifestyles among youth with diabetes in the Ogden/Clearfield and Salt Lake City Metropolitan Areas and their families through the Recreate, Educate, Advocate, and Climb Higher (REACH Weber) program. Using an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, our hope is to determine REACH Weber helps with more effective Time In Range (TIR) for youth.
