Panhandle Health District

The program, led by Joanna Adams for Chronic Disease Self Management, offers resources like the Diabetes Control Program, which collaborates with Idaho's health systems to mitigate diabetes and its complications through education and awareness. For diabetes support, individuals can call 1-877-214-5433 for Medicare's free informational resource. Additionally, the Injury Prevention Program focuses on enhancing the physical capabilities of seniors over 65 through targeted exercise information. The Oral Health Program, supported by the Maternal and Child Health Title V Block Grant, aims to improve oral health and prevent dental issues through local initiatives in partnership with district health departments, including school-based fluoride mouth rinse programs. Furthermore, the Tobacco Prevention, Control and Cessation Program works on reducing smoking and secondhand smoke exposure through education and advocacy, with local health departments offering free cessation classes for pregnant women, youth, and adults. Services are available in English, with interpreters accessible upon request.
