NACDD Partners
NACDD’s partners help us to produce sustainable life-change across every state and U.S. territory. Since our founding in 1988, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
has been our greatest funding partner, but NACDD also has a long list of private industry, nonpro t, nongovernmental, and academic partners that are invested in the opportunity to reduce the burden of chronic disease in our country.We welcome partners that both see the value of our projects and also have projects that NACDD can help them achieve to move the needle in health outcomes and healthcare quality. NACDD welcomes opportunities to begin conversations with any organization or corporation that wants to advance the health of the public.
“The ProVention Health Foundation was formed to ll a void in the dedicated disease prevention landscape.There was a desire on the part of the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors to create an entity that would work upstream to prevent chronic diseases from manifesting. It endeavors to achieve this by driving awareness to environmental and health system changes, disease risk factors, and relevant lifestyle changes. ProVention recognizes the symbiotic nature of the social determinants of health that include housing, transportation, education energy, food systems, and policy initiatives that impact the risk of disease and disability. ProVention works at the intersection of chronic disease and these other life components ,as well as related communicable and non- communicable disease states. In all of its work, it strives to support and empower the ongoing work of NACDD and its Members in every state and U.S.Territory.”
- John Patton, Director of Public Affairs, NACDD, and Vice President of the ProVention Health Foundation.
