Meeting Health Goals
Before becoming a patient at Oak Street Health two years ago, Mary struggled to manage her diabetes, with frequent bouts of elevated blood sugar. After just six months at Oak Street Health’s Bellwood center in Chicago, Mary’s hemoglobin A1C levels dropped by more than 50%.

Inspiring Healthy Choices
Mary attributes the significant improvement in her health to her nurse practitioner who spends quality time educating her on proper nutrition and developing a diet regimen that works for her – prioritizing both health and taste.
