  Diabetes Education Receives Certification

Mercy's Diabetes Education is certified by the American Diabetes Association. Mercy's outpatient Diabetes Learning Center provides information, resources and confidence to help people with diabetes control their condition and enjoy a full, healthy life. One-on-one education is provided by a diabetes-certified registered nurse and dietitian. In addition, we offer individual and group classes for diabetes education.
