Promote our public policy platform
The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease proposes the following public policy recommendations to focus our nation's leaders -- including the 2008 presidential candidates -- on the crisis of chronic disease and highlight common-sense reforms that will help the nation to address this challenge:
- Advance sustainable "Next Generation" chronic disease prevention and management models throughout the health care system and public health infrastructure.
- Promote healthy lifestyles and disease prevention and management in every community.
- Encourage and reward continuous advances in clinical practice and research that improve the quality of care for those with prevalent and costly chronic diseases.
- Accelerate improvements in the quality and availability of health information technology (HIT) throughout the health care system.
- Reduce health disparities by focusing on barriers to good health.
