On November 14, 2015, the American Diabetes Association of Western Pennsylvania will introduce a new expo, Bridge to Wellness (BTW) focusing on wellness information, health resources, and interactive experiences.  Bridge to Wellness provides a forum for intensive exchange of questions and answers about health issues, proactive measures, wellness and where necessary, disease-state prevention and management. 

Research continues to prove that healthy, active lifestyles enable people to live longer with a higher quality of life, enhancing communities and reducing healthcare expenditures. While addressing the needs of those individuals living with diabetes, and other related disease states, with state-of-the-art clinical services, we need to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities through prevention and management.  

Focus areas for Bridge to Wellness include:

Diabetes: Prevention, Managements, Eyes, Feet, Kidneys, and Heart Health      

Active Lifestyles                                           Back Care
