What:

Effective, evidence-based prevention programs are delivering results–preventing and controlling a range of chronic diseases, including high-cost, preventable conditions like type 2 diabetes and asthma. On this webinar we explored case studies from across the country that illustrate these strategies in action. Participants discussed how implementing prevention initiatives can improve health and contain costs, how partnerships within and outside of the health field can help these efforts succeed, and how foundations can use data from various sources to monitor the results and produce annual updates on the health of their communities.
