December 16, 2010 - Washington, D.C.

CRI partner the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD) renewed its commitment to helping to ensure that implementation of the health care reform legislation advances prevention and management of chronic disease at its December 16, 2010, Policy Working Group meeting in Washington, D.C. PFCD made its greatest impacts in 2010 through working with policymakers to shape implementation geared to health quality improvement, highlight what is working as models for replication, encourage coordination at the highest levels of the public and private sectors to assure consistent focus on health and quality improvements, and build support for addressing chronic disease as long-term strategy for deficit reduction.
