Vanderbilt Diabetes

Our Outreach to the Community

Siloam Family Health Center

Siloam Family Health Center is a faith-based clinic in Nashville just off of 8th Avenue.  It provides low-cost health care to people of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, especially those without health insurance.  Several physicians and healthcare practitioners from the Vanderbilt-Eskind diabetes clinic work volunteer at Siloam to provide diabetes education, treatment and prevention.

Working with the Hispanic Community

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Hispanics are nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as white, non-Hispanics. About 2.5 million Hispanic Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes, and millions more may have the disease without knowing it. To combat this, Vanderbilt Diabetes is actively involved in educating and treating Nashville's Hispanic population.
