Wellness Center and Diabetes Prevention Clinic
As part of Latino health Insurance program (LHIP) efforts to address the social determinants of health and the health care needs of Hispanic and Latino patients with diabetes, LHIP created a Diabetes Prevention Clinic. Milagros’ approach was to start by looking at how people receive health care information, how they are engaged in their communities and what works in terms of preventing or managing their chronic conditions. The clinic provides care management and care coordination to individuals with diabetes or prediabetes by connecting them to resources available within LHIP or offered by community partners in order to reduce complications from their diseases and the incidence of unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions.

The Latino Health Insurance Program, Inc.(LHIP),
Inspired to reduce barriers faced by minorities when trying to access healthcare and to navigate the health care system, Dr. Milagros Abreu founded the Latino Health Insurance Program, Inc. (LHIP) in East Boston in 2006. In Massachusetts, the proportion of Latino residents who report having diabetes is 14.2% compared to 6.5% for the general population. Age-standardized death rates (per 100,000 people) from 2003-2005, for heart disease and diabetes were higher among residents from towns and cities with a high concentration of minorities such as the cities LHIP serves. The population served by LHIP is 98% low-income and speaks Spanish or Portuguese as a first language.
