Update - Diabetes and Tribal Health Funding

We were able to pick up test strips from the Cherokee Diabetes program today, however that doesn't necessarily mean the program is financially strong. Other programs in the Tribal Health and Medical division may also be facing difficulty. Staff at the Cherokee Community Indian Clinic told me that they're having budget problems as well. That's not comforting given the number of elders in our community and that there's still at least two months left in the fiscal year.
