DPP Lifestyle Coach Spotlight

Tagny Diaz Solis

Atrium Health


Tagny is a Community-Based Program Manager at Atrium Health. Even with this demanding role, Tagny has gone above and beyond by becoming a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Lifestyle Coach to serve the Spanish-speaking community. She is a trailblazer, leading the first-ever Spanish-speaking DPP cohort within Atrium Health.


Tagny brings exceptional dedication, cultural sensitivity, and a deep passion for health equity to every session. Her commitment to fostering a supportive and engaging environment is evident in the way she keeps participants motivated between sessions—encouraging them to share photos, recipes, and personal success stories. Her efforts not only promote healthier lifestyles but also build a strong sense of community and empowerment among participants.


Tagny exemplifies leadership, compassion, and innovation in community health, making her a truly deserving spotlight story.

Success story from one of their DPP cohorts

Tagny’s dedication as a DPP Lifestyle Coach has made a profound impact on the lives of her participants, especially within the Spanish-speaking community. One particular heartwarming success story involves a gentleman in his 80's who has achieved improved health outcomes committing to and achieving his health goal of walking at least 150 minutes each week.


You can nominate a DPP lifestyle coach in your organization who is doing great work!

Nominations will be featured in future editions of the DiabetesFreeNC DPP Lifestyle Coach Network Newsletter.

Host a Free Community Training on Immunizations and Diabetes

The Diabetes Program at the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has been selected to participate in the national Immunizations and Diabetes Master Trainer Program through the American Diabetes Association® (ADA). This initiative equips health professionals and community partners with the knowledge and tools to better understand the critical role vaccines play in protecting people with diabetes from preventable diseases.

 

Individuals living with diabetes are at increased risk for severe complications from vaccine-preventable illnesses, making it essential to stay up to date on vaccinations as part of diabetes management and overall health.

 

Now through March 1, we are offering FREE community trainings focused on immunizations and diabetes. These sessions will empower participants to make informed health decisions, reduce risks, and strengthen protection against illness. Trainings last no longer than 90 minutes and can be delivered in-person or virtually. Attendees will also have the chance to participate in raffles.

 

If your organization or site is interested in hosting a free training, please contact

Dominique Ashley at dominique.ashley@dhhs.nc.gov to schedule your training.
