Welcome to REACH US SEA-CEED South Eastern African American Center of Excellence
in the Elimination of Disparities in Diabetes
The purpose of REACH US SEA-CEED is to eliminate health disparities related to diabetes prevention and control, especially related to hypertension, stroke, and amputations in 121 counties in South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina with populations greater than 30% African Americans at risk and with diagnosed diabetes. The SEA-CEED community action plan addresses a geographic area with high burden and great disparity, builds on the success of previous REACH coalitions, capitalizes on a broad network of academic and community partners which have worked effectively with mutual respect, represents rigorous application of community based participatory action principles and evidence based guidelines, and works at the local, state, and multi-state levels, and with CDC and other CEEDs.
