Ashley Regional Medical Center announced on Wednesday that they have achieved the significant milestone of accreditation by the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists. “Living with diabetes can feel overwhelming, but people don’t have to navigate it alone,” shares Jessica Short, Dietitian at Ashley Regional Medical Center. “Our goal is to meet people where they are, answer their questions and help them make manageable changes that fit their everyday lives. Having that support so close to home can make a meaningful difference.” Various diabetes education courses are available to the community each month. “Evidence shows diabetes education and support is helping people with diabetes to lower their A1c’s and obtain the knowledge and skills to better self-manage their condition,” says Sacha Uelmen, Director of Accreditation at ADCES. “That is why we need programs like Ashley Regional’s to make these services available in their community.” For more information, visit https://www.ashleyregional.com/news/2026/10/28/ashley-regional-medical-center-is-accredited-by-adces-to-provide-quality-diabetes-self-management-education-and-support.
