| Impact Report | Due to funding decreases, only one Kitchen Creations class per year is now offered in Luna County. There is no certified diabetes educator in Luna County nor are there any regularly scheduled diabetes education classes available outside of Cooperative Extension programs. In order to continue to provide KC to as many community members as possible it was decided that there would not be limitations on enrollment. 33 out of the 33 enrolled completed the course. Although a little crowded (the usual enrollment is between 15 and 20) and more difficult to respond to all questions, the program was well received by the participants. However, the one class limitation has impacted the county’s ability to reach the needs of the Spanish speaking population. We could not provide one this year. Local service and health agencies are working with extension to determine the best way to meet the needs of our diverse community with the limited programming available. |
