Allina Medical Clinic - Farmington is recognized for excellence in diabetes careFarmington, Minn. 07/27/2007--Allina Medical Clinic – Farmington was honored by the Minnesota Bridges to ExcellenceŽ (BTE) program for excellence in diabetes care. "We have a strong commitment to diabetes care," Karla Kammueller, MD, explains. "A third of people who have diabetes don't even realize that they have it. Sometimes the first time patients hear about diabetes is when one of the complications caused by the disease bring them to our office. By closely monitoring our patients – especially those who have diabetes – we are able to improve their health and quality of life." "Our physicians and staff use consistent processes to identify and treat patients with diabetes," says Jan Barbo, clinic manager. "We're fortunate to have doctors and staff who follow through on all the details, so everyone at our clinic shares in this award. We always put the patient first, and diabetes care is no exception," she says. As part of excellent diabetes care, Allina Medical Clinic provides diabetes education certified by the American Diabetes Association. Registered nurses and dietitians offer one-to-one visits and small group classes to teach patients how to manage diabetes. Allina Medical Clinic - Farmington recently introduced MyChart, an easy-to-use Internet tool that patients can use to conveniently schedule appointments online view health information and lab results. Allina Medical Clinic – Farmington is located at 3500 213th Street West in Farmington, Minnesota. For more information about clinic services and MyChart, call 651-463-7181.
