Chronic Conditions
Chronic conditions and noncommunicable diseases, such as mental health and substance use disorders, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease place a significant burden on the U.S. health care system. These interconnected challenges cost lives, drive rising health care costs, and strain resources in communities across the nation. Addressing them requires a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to prevention, treatment, and long-term support.
