DHWI at Juanita J. Craft Rec. Center


The Diabetes Health and Wellness Institute at Juanita J. Craft Recreation Center is the cornerstone of Baylor’s Southern Sector Health Initiative created in 2006 to address the region’s health care needs relative to diabetes. The goal of the center is to weave diabetes prevention into the fabric of the community so that it is a natural and convenient part of life in this neighborhood.

The Institute will provide:
• Full-time, on-site physician and nurse practitioner*
• Visiting medical specialists*
• Referral coordinator for specialty and ancillary care
• Diabetes management educator
• Affordable diabetes medications
• Nutrition and healthy cooking classes
• Exercise programs including running and walking clinics and weight training

The Institute will be conveniently located near the newly opened Fair Park DART line. All of the existing programs at The Juanita J. Craft Recreation center will be maintained or enhanced once the Institute opens in June 2010.
