The Detroit Community Action Plan

In 2000-2001, members of the REACH Detroit partnership in the Detroit area developed a Community Action Plan to address the problem of diabetes and related conditions. The partners spent a year meeting with people in the community, many with diabetes, and developing the Community Action Plan.
