together the other five components, or target populations, of the Border Health
Strategic Initiative: People with Diabetes, Providers, Families of People with
Diabetes, Communities, and Schools. Arrows point from the Special Action Group to
each of the five components. Each component represents a case study within this
issue. Arrows also point from the Special Action Group to 揈xisting
Partnerships?and 揘ew Partnerships?to indicate that the Special Action Groups
