Report Released: Keeping America Healthy: A Catalogue of Successful Programs

last Thursday the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease and Emory University co-hosted Fighting Chronic Disease: The Missing Link in Health Reform.  On Monday, we will send around an email with highlights and Web postings from that event. At the event the document, “Keeping America Healthy: A Catalog of Successful Programs,” (a.k.a. "Promising Practices") was officially released.  This first-of-its-kind document provides an answer to the question that many of us have been hearing throughout our time in the PFCD – what can we do to make a difference?

Nearly 150 programs are featured in the document as either, Programs that Work, Programs to Watch, or Programs with Promise.  In addition to the extensive, hard-copy document, a Web site has been launched on which you can search the database of programs and submit additional programs to be considered for inclusion on the site.  Click here to visit the site: http://promisingpractices.fightchronicdisease.org/
