Inclusive Healthy Communities

The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create and launch a national pilot project, Inclusive Healthy Communities, to make the healthiest choices the easiest choices across all elements of the community in 10 localities across five states nationwide.
