Join the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD)
Chronic diseases, such as asthma, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, are the #1 cause of death and disability in the U.S. They affect the quality of life of 133 million Americans and are responsible for seven out of every 10 deaths in the U.S. – killing more than 1.7 million Americans every year, according to the CDC.
The good news is that experts believe the vast majority of the death and disability caused by chronic disease is preventable or could be alleviated through better management of disease – if only our nation took the right steps.
By joining the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD), you will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with others who have committed to finding ways to reduce the heavy toll chronic disease exacts on all Americans.
