The Controlling Chronic Illness Program gives patients the education, support and tools to take an active role in their own healthcare.

A Diabetic Educator, Physical Therapist, and Nurses guide participants on the path to a healthy lifestyle in this 10-week course.

OUR THANKS to the Medtronic Foundation for 2-year initial funding for our classes and the American Medical Association Foundation for 3-year support to help in the growth of this health education program. Since its beginning, participant outcomes have been incredibly successfully, compelling Open Arms to continue the program regardless of grant backing.
