She has created a 15 member DSME advisory committee. Candace spends some of her free time, researching her county and state statistics on diabetes prevalence. The hospital administration has given her permission to establish herself as a full-time position for DSME. Wherever Candace goes whether it be attending church or grocery shopping, she always finds a way to promote diabetes prevention. Because she approached the hospital administration, she is now able to reap the rewards of her initiative. Her goal of attending one of Beverly’s seminars will come true in September! Congratulations Candace!
