On 11/17/2023, Dr. Huang and team collaborated with Emblem Health and hosted a Diabetes workshop for the Chinese immigrant community in Flushing, NY. 

In observance of National Diabetes Month in November, our team aimed to enhance awareness within the Chinese community regarding the dangers of diabetes, effective management strategies, and the specific impact it has on community members.

Audiences enthusiastically participated in the workshop and many reported gaining a deeper understanding of diabetes and diabetes management after attending the workshop. See pictures below.
