RNs Offer Diabetes Support to Underserved Through Project Dulce

Project Dulce (dulce means sweet in Spanish) is a 16-year-old community-based program developed by Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute. It puts nurses in charge of helping more than 20,000 people with diabetes successfully manage their disease.
