Welcome to the Nuchu Diabetes Program.
Get ready to explore a website that's all about WELL BEING!
The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is highly focused on addressing the root causes of high rates of diabetes. This requires understanding how cultural, historical, and economic factors all play a role. By doing this, we can develop long-lasting solutions that align with our community's needs and prioritize our health and well-being.
Our Mission
-
Education
The impact of diabetes on the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is a complex and multifaceted issue that deserves our attention and action.
-
Motivation
Traditional knowledge and practices related to healthy living and physical activity have been eroded over time, making it difficult to address the disease in a culturally appropriate and effective manner.
-
Support
Efforts to reconnect the community with our cultural heritage and revitalizing traditional practices can play a crucial role in diabetes prevention and management.
Higher Rates Than Average
Indigenous peoples have a greater chance of developing diabetes than any other US racial group.
