Chronic Disease Prevention

How do we create a culture of health in our communities? What does a community look like, when all the factors that influence a person’s overall health and well-being are met? From education to recreation, the social determinants that we strive to address in public health – those conditions in which people are born, live, work, and age – are opportunities to create a healthier, more equitable future for all.

Through policy, practice, and partnership models, NACCHO’s work in chronic disease engages local health departments in building their capacity to implement, evaluate, and sustain evidence- and practice-based chronic disease prevention activities in their communities. Public health is the work we do together as a society to ensure the conditions in which everyone can make healthy choices and lead fulfilling lives, and NACCHO supports health departments’ initiatives to promote community health and wellness for all.

National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) are partnering to award a maximum of $50,000 to up to 50 community multi-sector partnerships and/or coalitions who have successfully implemented strategies in the five SDoH domains.
