Advocate for Change
"There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction."
—John F. Kennedy
Join the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD) to take action against the epidemic of chronic disease that is costing American lives and bankrupting our health care system. We believe change at an individual and community level can lead to national change.
As an organization, the PFCD seeks to:
- raise awareness of the issues
- advocate for positive health policy
- change the way the future of health care is considered
We cannot do this alone. Help us to:
