Washoe County Chronic Disease Coalition

Organization description:
The Washoe County Chronic Disease Coalition was founded in 2005 and is Northern Nevada’s only collaborative of agencies dedicated to the prevention and control of chronic disease. Our mission is to: • Heighten the community’s awareness of chronic diseases and their risk factors; • Improve the community’s access to chronic disease resources, including data, education, and health care services; and • Promote the healthy lifestyle choices that prevent chronic disease (i.e., healthy eating, active living, and being tobacco free). The Coalition is a group of diverse agencies that represents all segments of the public health system.
