Mission

The Virgin Islands Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (VIDPCP) works to reduce the burden of disease among U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) residents through influencing systems changes and coordination among many stakeholders and partners in the Virgin Islands. The VIDPCP strives to implement public health prevention and control strategies that will improve the quality of diabetes care and education for all Virgin Islanders as well as increase the awareness of diabetes, its symptoms, its complications and its risk factors through a broad range of public health activities.

Strategic Plan

The V.I. Diabetes Advisory Council and the VIDPCP, Bureau of Health Education, Virgin Islands Department of Health (VIDOH), developed the Virgin Islands Diabetes Strategic Plan in 2002. The plan details the major activities that have and will be undertaken over a ten-year period, 2002-2012. It describes a comprehensive set of objectives and strategies that will make a significant positive impact on the current health care system. The Virgin Islands Diabetes Strategic Plan is divided into the following five major areas: Professional Education, Public Awareness, Community Organization, Surveillance and Quality Assurance & Improvement.
