Free Diabetes Education


Last year Fall River High School senior Rodrigo Alvarez decided it was time to give back to a cause he knows very well.  Rodrigo is diabetic and has experienced the challenges that come with the condition. Education about diabetes is essential in managing the disease.

For his senior project Rodrigo hosted a 9-Hole golf scramble at the Fall River Golf Course. He was mentored by Travis Hickey and Beth Allison. His project yielded $2000.  Rodrigo donated all of the proceeds to Mayers Memorial Hospital District for Diabetes education material.

MMHD Registered Dietician Lani Martin is putting those funds to good use.  She will be presenting a Diabetes Education class on Thursday, July 23rd from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in the MMHD Fall River Board Room. The class will be translated is Spanish.  It is FREE and is open to all ages.  Families are encouraged to attend.
