Memorial Satilla Health is proud to host the Talki Foundation’s new monthly support group for people with diabetes and their caregivers in Ware County and surrounding areas.
The support group, called the 912 Diabetes Initiative, will meet the first Tuesday of every month in the Community Room at the Railway Express Agency (REA) in downtown Waycross, located at 315 Plant Ave. The kick-off meeting will be held from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, August 5.
These monthly meetings will provide valuable educational resources and a chance to connect with others. The Talki Foundation will host expert guest speakers who will present on various topics related to healthy living and managing diabetes.
“Our mission extends beyond providing acute care. We are committed to fostering long-term health and well-being within our community,” said Mitch Mongell, interim CEO. “Managing diabetes is a daily journey, and it often comes with unique challenges and questions. 'I'm incredibly proud that our hospital is hosting this support group, another testament to its great work in delivering health education and resources to our community.'
“Residents here in Southeast Georgia are being devastated by diabetes. These monthly meetings will give everyone an opportunity to educate themselves about their condition,” said Charlie Komons, President of Talki Foundation. “Education and awareness are the first and most important steps in controlling this horrible disease.”
