Unidos Contra la Diabetes is a collective impact initiative dedicated to reducing the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Rio Grande Valley. We work hand-in-hand with local partners, community leaders, healthcare providers, and residents to develop and support sustainable strategies that create lasting change. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life—regardless of zip code, income, or background.
Through a range of community-based efforts, we focus on prevention and early detection, connecting people to the resources they need before diabetes takes hold. From free health screenings and culturally tailored education campaigns to healthy food access and support for active living, designed to meet the unique needs of our region.
By aligning our efforts and tracking our collective progress, Unidos Contra la Diabetes continues to drive measurable outcomes that support healthier individuals, families, and communities. Explore our initiatives below to see how we’re making a difference—and how you can get involved.
