The Risk Buster program provides comprehensive care that not only treats but also focuses on prevention and improvement of client health.

This program educates patients on the importance of a healthy diet and exercise to combat their risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

HCMH providers require participation in the Risk Buster program for any patient battling or at risk for developing chronic disease due to their high cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, or unhealthy behaviors such as smoking.

HCMH staff believes that providing education and support to encourage subsequent action can powerfully impact the health and well-being of our patients.

Adults: 18-64.
