The mission of the Sutter County Chronic Disease Prevention Program is to improve the health of Sutter County residents specifically in the area of chronic disease through preventive education, and through providing disease management tools to those who are living with a chronic condition.

Program Information

None of us will escape the toll of chronic disease whether experiencing it personally or having a family member or friend suffer from the effects. Typically, chronic disease is defined as a disease of long duration and slow progression. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes are common chronic diseases that are causes of death in our community.

The chronic disease prevention staff conducts presentations in the community, participates in community events, and teaches workshops to increase awareness and educate interested and concerned individuals in Sutter County.

Chronic Disease Prevention Program

Future Diabetes Empowerment Education Program (DEEP) Workshops are planned in English and Spanish!  DEEP is a multi-cultural, bilingual, diabetes self-management curriculum that is successful in helping participants take control of their disease and reduce the risk of complications.  DEEP is an 8-week course where trainers go over various topics from medication used to healthy eating habits. 

• DEEP was developed for use in low-income, racial and ethnic minority populations.
