The American Diabetes Association and Healia Collaborate on Online Diabetes Community

We are delighted to announce that the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Healia are working together to improve access to high quality and personalized diabetes information through our online health community Healia Communities. The ADA is the nation’s premier voluntary health organization supporting diabetes research, information, and advocacy.

Through this new collaboration, members of Healia Communities will now be able to ask questions of two prominent diabetes experts from the ADA, Dr. Sue Kirkman and Stephanie Dunbar. The ADA will also have a presence on Healia’s diabetes-related communities and have opportunities to communicate directly with Healia Communities members.

Through this exciting relationship with the ADA, we hope that Healia Communities will become an essential resource for information and support for people with diabetes or those taking care of someone with diabetes.

Healia Communities is a free online health community that enables people to get personal support for their health decisions from peers and experienced health professionals. Healia Communities helps you make better health decisions by allowing you to:
  • Share your health knowledge, experiences, and favorite resources.
  • Connect with people like yourself who’ve experienced your situation.
  • Ask questions of the community, your peers, and health professionals
