Native Americans with Diabetes Project: Project Angel Food

November is Native American Heritage Month.

Gayle Anderson learns the early results of the Native Americans with Diabetes Project. The non-project organization Project Angel Food, which prepares and delivers healthy meals to people impacted by illness, initiated this project on Oct. 11, 2020.


The two-year study integrates nutrition, social needs, and tradition and measures how Project Angel Food’s Medically Tailored Meals, combined with counseling, and community can improve health outcomes and mental well-being of Indigenous People with Diabetes. This research is made possible with underwriting from Project Angel Food board member Runningbear Ramirez.
