Diabetes Strip Assistance Program
Background:
In the spring of 1997, members of Sheridan Community Diabetes Education Committee wrote two grants to Wyoming Diabetes Control Program. One of the grants was the Strip Assistance Program. Additional funds have been adde from a grant from the Homer A. & Mildred S. Scott Foundation, donations and fund raisers. This program remains in place.
Program:
