Help Support Patients with Diabetes

 The Big Picture

• More than 34 million people in the United States have diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them don’t know they have it.
• More than 88 million US adults—over a third—have prediabetes, and more than 84% of them don’t know they have it.
• Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States (and may be underreported).
• In the last 20 years, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has more than doubled.

Cost

• Medical costs and lost work and wages for people with diagnosed diabetes total $327 billion yearly.
• Medical costs for people with diabetes are twice as high as for people who don’t have diabetes.

Diabetic patients are required to get frequent exams and lab testing to monitor their health. In addition, patients must check their blood glucose level multiple times a day and might have to take insulin regularly. Diabetes is a stressful and overwhelming disease to a large proportion of patients at Samaritan Health Ministries.  

​You can help today by donating to help low-income, uninsured patients gain access to the services and supplies needed to monitor this chronic disease. With your gift, you could be restoring hope, restoring joy, and restoring their quality of life!!

You may also send a check payable to Samaritan Health Ministries.
