Chronic Disease Action Team meets on the first Thursday of the month from 3—4:30 pm at the Henderson County Department of Public Health. Chair: Katrina McGuire

Chronic Diseases are the leading causes of illness, disability, and death nationally and locally.  It also represents a significant portion of healthcare costs and reduces quality of life. This priority stems from the ability to prevent and manage many chronic conditions through public health initiatives and community efforts that promote healthy behaviors and policies, improve access to care, and address social determinants of health like food insecurities, unhealthy diets and lack of physical activity.
