California Chronic Disease Prevention Leadership Project

Chronic disease is the leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality.
We strengthen health department capacity to prevent chronic disease and improve health equity.

About Our Project

The California Chronic Disease Prevention Leadership Project is a collaboration of California’s local and state public health leaders dedicated to preventing chronic disease and related disparities.

Our Vision

California health departments prioritize upstream chronic disease prevention to eliminate preventable chronic disease and health inequities.

Strategic Plan
