The CAPs program is designed to allow SNPhA chapters to collaborate on projects, share information, and increase communication by providing a medium to establish and strengthen networks.  It is in the best interest of each chapter to communicate and assist each other in achieving their particular goals and objectives for the year. Each chapter should take advantage of this program to strengthen, share, and network with their colleagues.

SNPhA is in strong support of Diabetes as one of our clinical initiatives. Diabetes currently effects 23.6 million adults and children in the United States. Roughly 25% of these patients are unaware of their condition. In addition to these staggering statistics Medicare has shown that at least 1 out of every 4 adults (~ 57 million people) are living with prediabetes. SNPhA has accepted the challenge to educate patients on disease state management, lifestyle modifications, medication therapy, and monitoring related to Diabetes. Chapters will be award CIC points based on clinical programming targeting the before mentioned educational topics and health screenings. Please visit www.diabetes.org and www.worlddiabetesday.org for all the latest updates, educational sources, and events for future participation.
