Indian Health Clinic Uses CDC Grant To Combat Diabetes

The Potawot Health Village in Arcata, Calif. -- a multi-tribal health clinic serving the region's American Indian and Native Alaskan populations -- was one of 17 Indian organizations nationwide to receive a $100,000 grant from CDC's Native Diabetes Wellness Program. Potawot will use the grant to develop a comprehensive Food as Medicine program aimed at combating diabetes.
