As we approach the end of Diabetes Awareness Month, BMHC would like to highlight the significant impact of this condition on those affected by it. Diabetes is a disease that does not produce enough insulin to convert food into energy. This chronic disease can lead to other health issues that can be fatal, but there is hope with regular screenings, diabetes management, and lifestyle changes. It is imperative that we do not take this lightly, as fatality data for Blacks, Indians, and Hispanics is significantly higher than the White population, and we see enormous increases in amputations—up to 4 times more in Blacks than compared to the rest of the populations. Perhaps for reasons to do with underlying biological and cultural differences, but we have seen some positive outcomes with changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle.

The Black Men's Health Clinic® (BMHC) sent BMHC Senior Director of Operations, Dr. Larry Wallace Jr., PhD., BMHC Behavioral Health Specialist Ashley Coria, and Criminal Justice and Participatory Defense Organizer, Robert Lilly to share BMHC's perspective on how we support individuals in the community who have transitioned from the criminal justice system into everyday life at the Global Reentry Vision Summit: The Alpha and Omega, held on Wednesday, November 6th, in Austin. This dynamic trio informed the attendees about how our comprehensive services support reentry transition from a physical, mental, and social determinants of health perspective. -------------------- Dr. Larry Wallace said, "We are ‘right there in the room' to help make the step to schedule the appointment, provide insight, and guidance on the actual journey of physical, medical, and mental care." Ashley Coria shared our services and stated, "It's about building that trust, breaking those barriers, and opening up a safe space to have difficult conversations that normally and culturally would be taboo to provide better care." Robert Lilly asserted, "We must look at addiction as a social health problem, a public health problem. I believe that the Black Men's Health Clinic is leading us in that direction and deserves our ear."
