Diabetes Prevention Program

The Diabetes Prevention Program uses CDC-approved curriculum to educate, support, and inspire participants with prediabetes or a past history of gestational diabetes. The program is one year in duration and includes lifestyle change management support, education on nutrition and physical activity, and social support provided by a group of peers. The program is facilitated by a CDC-certified Lifestyle Coach. Participants in this program have cut their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58% (71% for people over 60 years old).

CKD Clinic

The Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic is a kidney care clinic designed to slow or halt the progression of CKD. Patients who are in stages 2-4 (pre-dialysis) are seen at the CKD Clinic by Dr. Rodney Faucett, DO, and Oksana Rutkevich, RD. This multifaceted approach to kidney care helps ease the burden on patients who are wanting to maintain or improve their kidney health, while also serving as support for patients who are waiting to see Nephrology.

Rodney Faucett, DO, coordinates care with Oksana Rutkevich, RD, in order to get Chronic Kidney Disease patients the care they need.

Intensive Behavioral Therapy Program (IBT)

The CDC-certified Lifestyle Coach also runs a program called Intensive Behavioral Therapy for Obesity. This program is available to participants who have a BMI of 30 or above and who do not have prediabetes. The program is one year in duration and includes information on how to manage lifestyle modifications in physical activity, nutrition, and participants’ approaches to both.

Reach Out & Read

Reach Out and Read is a program which provides one free age-appropriate book to children from 6 months to 5 years of age at every well-child visit. This is to encourage early literacy, parent-child bonding, and incorporating literacy development into primary care. Our team at Elica Health Centers is proud to be literacy champions!

Currently, Reach Out and Read is only offered at our Halyard location in West Sacramento. We are working to expand this valuable program to our other clinics which offer pediatric services.
