Diabetes is a serious disease in which your body cannot properly convert foods into the energy needed for your daily activity. It cannot be cured; however, careful control of diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and medication can prevent or delay the complications of the disease.

Project "Activate Bristol" consists of a partnership between Bristol Family YMCA, Bristol Tennesee City Schools, Wellmont Diabetes Treatment Center, and Sullivan County Regional Health Department to help fight the growing epidemic levels for developing Type 2 Diabetes and obesity in our community with educational information and active programs.

All are invited to participate in the program through a candidate position or a volunteer position. Please contact John Mack to get involved.
