In the latest installment of the National Health Council’s (NHC’s) “Conversations with Trusted Messengers,” an impressive group of grassroots leaders and community advocates share insights about the importance of chronic disease patients’ access to care, prevention, and management. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity impact hundreds of millions of people across the United States, but there are steps that can be taken to manage risk and help communities achieve better health outcomes.
The NHC encourages patients to talk to their trusted health care provider about their personal risk factors and make a plan to prioritize their health and wellness.
