TRENTON – The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee today approved legislation sponsored by Senator Bob Gordon requiring the State Department of Health to develop a diabetes action plan.
“Diabetes is a serious health issue in the United States. It affects nearly one-out-of-nine residents here in New Jersey,” said Gordon (D-Bergen/Passaic). “It is time that we bring together state agencies and stakeholders and help develop a plan of action for the prevention and management this disease.”
