Our subsidized programs increase access to diabetes prevention and
management resources that might not otherwise be available to our local
residents. Diabetes is considered the “silent killer” because it often goes
undetected until it’s too late. By partnering with community leaders, such as
the Provident Bank Foundation, we’re able to empower our local residents
strive towards reaching their full potential in mind, body, and spirit.
