The University of British Columbia recently released a video recapping the Small Steps for Big Changes 2nd anniversary event commemorating and solidifying the community partnership between the YMCA of Okanagan and SSBC program. At this event in November 2019, Dr. Mary Jung, Principal Investigator of the SSBC study, and Sharon Peterson, CEO of YMCA of Okanagan, signed a formal memorandum of understanding between the two organisations. Over 70 diabetes prevention stakeholders from the academic, clinical, and community contexts met at the Laurel Packing House in downtown Kelowna to celebrate the successes of the SSBC study and look towards the future of the program.
Well done to everyone who helped make this program a success!
