Hyundai Donates to UCI Health to Support Diabetes Services
London, December 03, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– Hyundai Motor America announced a $50,000 donation to UCI Health to bolster its diabetes support services at the UCI Health Family Health Centers in Santa Ana and Anaheim, California, the oldest Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Orange County. The investment will help create a dedicated space for diabetic exams and a new peer-to-peer education series to support individuals with diabetes. This donation is part of Hyundai’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Hyundai Hope, which aims to foster positive community growth by supporting health and safety initiatives. The donation will enable the UCI Health Family Health Center to convert an existing exam room into a specialized diabetes suite.
This transformation made possible by Hyundai’s contribution will be equipped with an EIDON color confocal scanner, a revolutionary eye camera that provides ultra-high resolution imaging of the retina, enabling earlier detection of diabetic eye disease – often before the patient experiences any symptoms. With this dedicated space and state-of-the art technology, the goal is to intervene sooner in the hope of preventing vision loss.
Additionally, this donation will support diabetic group medical visits, specifically a new series of 8-week educational courses where patients will learn from their peers under the guidance of UCI Health’s interdisciplinary, expert care team. This team, which includes physicians, pharmacists, health educators, social workers, dieticians, and chefs will lead group medical visits. Sessions will focus on food as medicine, healthy habits, insulin resistance, diabetes prescriptions, eye and foot health, information on supplements, and tools for dealing with stressors
