CHOOSE WELLNESS

 Joe teaching about diabetes on the front porch of a home in an Indo-Figian settlement.

Joe teaching a class at the clinic with Ben as the Hindi interpreter, Moseisei as Figian interpreter.


Our goal is CHOOSE WELLNESS.  We are all working to decrease the epidemic of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, anemia, and non-communicable diseases in Fiji.  One is 6 people have diabetes, one in 5 have hypertension.  Every 12 hours an amputation is done for complication to diabetes.  Through education, monitoring hi-risk patients, backyard gardening projects, healthy cooking classes, exercise programs etc we will hopefully make a little difference.
