The African American Diabetes Association, Inc. offers membership to community-based organizations (CBO's) to join us in our efforts to provide education, increase awareness, and support individuals living with diabetes and their families.
AADA is working with CBO's that serve the African American diabetes community with direct services, advocacy and awareness programs. We value the work of CBOs, and we are working to expand our collaborations across the country in order to affect positive change at the national, state and local levels.
