The MS Diabetes Network and William Carey’s School of Osteopathic Medicine had the honor of attending the Greenville Community Health Fair. We provided A1c, blood sugar and BP screenings for over 50 attendees.

These screenings throughout Mississippi have proved to be incredibly valuable alerting participants of elevated numbers they may not have previously been aware of. We were able to connect anyone who needed primary care with a physician to follow up with.

It was a great day!!

If you have a business, organization or community event in North MS that you’d like us to attend to provide free diabetes health screenings, contact [email protected] or go to MSDiabetesNetwork.com to request a screening.

🏅 A little late, but too good not to share—celebrating big wins for Mississippi’s future in healthcare!

What an inspiring weekend at the MAFP Spring Conference! 👏

We were honored to be part of a gathering that brought together family medicine physicians, residents, and students from across Mississippi—all committed to advancing care and improving health outcomes in our communities. 🤝

A special highlight: watching our Delta Scholars present their research, including work on social determinants of health and diabetes across Mississippi. Even more exciting—several earned Blue Ribbon awards for their outstanding presentations! 🎉

At the Mississippi Diabetes Network, our mission is to improve diabetes outcomes through education, early detection, and community-based prevention—and weekends like this highlight the power of collaboration across healthcare, education, and public health in moving that mission forward. 💙

And… we may have some exciting news involving MAFP on the horizon 👀 Stay tuned!

What a great day at the University of Mississippi for Mississippi Day! ☀️🎉

We were honored to partner with the university’s Department of Public Health to provide FREE diabetes screenings on campus. With beautiful weather and a great turnout, we were able to check A1C, blood pressure, and blood sugar for so many participants 🩺

Most importantly, we had meaningful conversations—helping individuals understand their numbers and, in some cases, identify prediabetes or diabetes for the first time. Each person left with valuable information and encouragement to follow up with their primary care provider 💙

A huge shoutout to our Delta Scholar third-year School of Osteopathic Medicine students—they were phenomenal and made a big impact! 👏

Grateful for a day full of education, connection, and community health!

💙❤️ Community, Connection, and Heart Health ❤️💙

This past Saturday, February 14, the MS Diabetes Network was honored to participate in the Lafayette County & Oxford Public Library’s “Reads and Beats” event in recognition of Heart Health Month!

Our team provided free health screenings to community members, including:
✔️ Blood Pressure Checks 🩺
✔️ Blood Glucose Screenings🩸
✔️ A1c Testing🩸

These screenings are a vital step in helping individuals better understand their risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease—because prevention and early detection save lives.

We were also thrilled to be joined by the Delta Scholars medical students from William Carey University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, one of our valued partners. Their dedication to community outreach and patient education made a tremendous impact, and we are grateful for their service alongside us.

Thank you to the library for hosting such a meaningful event and to everyone who stopped by to take charge of their health. Together, we are building healthier Mississippi communities—one screening at a time.
