The 
Diabetes Resource Coalition of Long Island is an alliance of community based organizations, 
agencies, businesses and health care professionals committed to identifying resources 
and raising diabetes awareness through the provision of information and education 
about the prevention and treatment of diabetes. The Coalition was formed in 1998.
Our 
mission is to maximize the use of community resources dedicated to the prevention, 
identification and treatment of diabetes on Long Island.
The 
Coalition offers members the opportunity to network with health care professionals interested 
in diabetes prevention, identification, treatment, and advocacy. The Coalition also provides a venue for professionals to share resources, 
and receive  continuing education 
on recent developments in diabetes standards and care. Community residents 
also have opportunities to increase their knowledge of diabetes and available resources.
The 
Diabetes Resource Coalition of Long Island is recognized as a regional Community 
Coalition for Diabetes Prevention by the New York State Department of Health and 
has received grant funding for Coalition projects since 1999.
Creating Healthy Places in Suffolk County is a community project that is a part of a state wide initiative funded to the Family Health and Wellness Program area of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County by the New York State Department of Health. Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work and Play contractors across the state are working to prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes by making it easier to access healthier food choices and increase physical activity. In Suffolk County we are creating policy, systems and environmental changes in collaborating towns of our target communities where physical activity and healthy food is not commonplace or easy to access.
