Background

The Special and Vulnerable Populations Diabetes Task Force was an initiative comprised of 14 National Training and Technical Assistance Partner (NTTAP) organizations formed in 2017. In alignment with HRSA’s Diabetes Control objective, the collective goal of the Taskforce was to provide health centers with training and technical assistance (T/TA) to decrease the number of diabetic patients with an A1C greater than 9% (HbA1c > 9%). Since 2017, the Task Force has coordinated webinars on topics related to diabetes, social determinants, and co-morbidities. It also shared resources and strategies among the NTTAPs and HRSA to coordinate T/TA to increase knowledge of effective strategies that address diabetes among people experiencing homelessness, residents of public housing, migratory and seasonal agricultural workers, school-aged children, older adults, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, LGBTQIA+ people, and other health center patients.
