The Skinny Gene Project

OUR MISSION

Creating Health Equity for ALL

As a non-profit diabetes prevention network, our mission is to increase access to lifestyle modification programs, enable organizations to be agents of change in their communities, and connect those with prediabetes to the resources that address their social needs. Together we fight racial and health inequity and enable those at-risk to thrive, not just survive.

Triple Threat Against Diabetes

We are the only known organization working with the CDC to address all three barriers to scaling the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) – programming, staffing, and organizational support, making our organization a triple threat against diabetes.

OUR REACH

Changing Health Outcomes, One Zip Code At A Time

What started as one has evolved in a growing number of zip codes throughout Southern CA (and beyond), in which we have helped participants learn how to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Create Awareness. Drive Change.

More than 98 million American adults— 1 in 3—have a condition known as prediabetes. At least 80% don’t know they have it, placing them at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetesheart disease, and stroke.

The National DPP Lifestyle Change Program cuts this risk by 58%.
