Free Treatment for Diabetes & Hypertension with Weight Loss

Public Health is prepared to offer FREE TREATMENT for diabetes and hypertension if you:

Are a regular paying patient at a Health Department in the 10-county Northeast Health District.

Are a non-smoker.

Are approved by the Public Health Nurse and Dr. Burnett to be eligible for the free program.

Health history, weight history, and clinical and laboratory evaluations will be reviewed.

Lose at least 10 pounds from a baseline measured by the Health Department since June 2003.

Continue to lose at least five pounds every three months thereafter until your desirable healthy weight is achieved or until either your blood sugar or blood pressure is normal without medication.

Comply with your nurse’s orders and your signed Cardiovascular Disease Clinic Patient Agreement.

Allow the Health Department to use your weight loss success story to encourage others to lose weight. [Your name will not be used unless you specifically agree to be identified.]

Free care will end if five or more pounds are regained and the blood sugar or blood pressure is abnormal. Free care will be re-started when weight goes down again to the previous low or blood sugar or blood pressure is normal without medication.

Initial and continuing eligibility is at the sole discretion of Dr. Burnett. The Health Department reserves the right to cancel the incentive program at any time.
