Who is a candidate for SOADI Foot Care Subsidies?

Aboriginal, Métis, and Inuit people that are living with diabetes, have current foot concerns, are high risk under LEAP ranking, and elders whom do not qualify for any other funding resources are SOADI’s main priorities. .

This part of the program is designed for people to independently go to the Chiropodist office for treatments. Some participants for various reasons are house bound and have mobility issues; in this case in home foot care is possible.

Various foot care supplies (such as Diabetic socks, support hose, orthotics, orthopedic shoes etc) may be subsidized.
