How can I meet with DEP?
There are DEP advocates at each Saturday Clinic. If you are interested, you can let your medical assistant, medical student, or physician know you would like to talk to us and an advocate can meet with you for a one-on-one consultation!
A recent quality improvement study done on DEP shows that seeing DEP for 5 sessions lowers our DEP patients' HbA1c levels by 0.55%!
