More than 38 million Americans live with diabetes, and many may not realize it can affect their vision long before symptoms appear.

November is National Diabetes Month and Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, making it an important time to highlight the connection between diabetes and eye health.

Managing blood sugar, staying up to date on preventive care, and scheduling regular dilated eye exams can help detect problems early and reduce the risk of vision loss.

👁️ When was your last eye exam? This month, take a step toward protecting your vision. Schedule an exam, encourage a loved one to do the same, and talk with our healthcare provider about keeping your eyes healthy.

Don't wait for symptoms. Make eye health part of your diabetes care plan.

Leadership Spotlight

Meet Dr. Christine LaRocca, Clinical Lead for the Midwest QIN-QIO and a leader dedicated to improving healthcare quality across 14 states. While her credentials speak for themselves, she'd tell you to skip the formalities and call her Christine.

For 25 years, Christine has been part of the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) program, supporting healthcare professionals as they work to improve care and outcomes for the people they serve. Throughout her career, she has found purpose in helping healthcare teams implement evidence-based practices that lead to meaningful and measurable improvements.

What she loves most about her role is the opportunity to learn something new every day. Working alongside talented colleagues with diverse backgrounds and expertise allows her to continually grow while supporting healthcare providers and community partners striving to make a difference.

Christine is equally inspired by the people behind the data. Every quality measure represents real individuals and real experiences, a reminder that healthcare improvement is ultimately about improving lives.

At the center of her work is a commitment to supporting both healthcare professionals and her teammates, fostering an environment where collaboration, kindness, and continuous improvement thrive.

As she puts it:

"One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is the opportunity to support our hardworking healthcare workforce in their efforts to meaningfully improve health and healthcare outcomes."

And beyond the work? She's an avid sports fan who loves basketball, hockey, and baseball, especially when her team is winning, a fact that reflects the competitive spirit those who know her have come to expect.

Strong quality improvement starts with people who are passionate about learning, collaboration, and helping others succeed. Connect with the Midwest QIN-QIO to learn how our team can support yours: https://midwestcmsqinqio.com/about-us/contact-us/

Have you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling confused or overwhelmed? You're not alone.

Understanding health information can be challenging, but clear communication can make all the difference. When patients understand their medications, treatment plans, and next steps, they are better prepared to manage their health and prevent complications.

This Health Literacy Month, let's encourage conversations that lead to understanding, confidence, and better health.

Make a commitment today to speak up during healthcare visits. Ask questions. Take notes. Bring a family member or friend if needed. Understanding your care isn't a luxury; it's a key part of safer, better health outcomes.

Yesterday's World Mental Health Day served as an important reminder that a strong patient safety culture starts with a workforce that feels supported, valued, and safe.

Psychological safety empowers healthcare professionals to speak up about concerns, ask questions, share ideas, and learn from mistakes without fear of blame. When staff wellbeing is prioritized, organizations are better equipped to deliver safer, higher-quality care for every patient.

While World Mental Health Day may have passed, the conversation about workforce wellbeing should continue year-round. Small actions that foster trust, respect, and open communication can have a lasting impact on both staff and patient outcomes.

This week, consider one step you can take to strengthen psychological safety in your workplace. Check in with a colleague, encourage open dialogue, or help create an environment where every team member feels heard and supported.
