ABOUT NACDD

The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) is a member-based Association that improves the health of the public by strengthening state-based leadership and expertise for chronic disease prevention and management. NACDD also promotes social justice and wellbeing so that communities can build healthier futures. NACDD’s core membership is composed of the 59 State and Territorial Health Department Chronic Disease Directors and their staff who protect the health of the public through primary and secondary prevention efforts and work “upstream” on root causes of chronic conditions. In addition, NACDD unites 7,000 chronic disease professionals across the United States working in state, tribal, and territorial health departments; nonprofits; academia; and the private industry to promote health and reduce the burden of chronic disease. As a national, nonprofit, professional Association, we advocate, educate, and provide technical assistance to inform programming and grow chronic disease prevention knowledge, leadership, and capacity.

We are dedicated to becoming a model anti-racist public health organization by actively promoting racial equity and social justice. Our commitment to REDI (Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) is integral to our operations and partnerships. NACDD aims to build a diverse and inclusive workforce, advancing a culture of belonging through social justice principles and collaboration. Our work will enhance chronic disease health outcomes through engagement in internal facing activities that foster equitable values and are woven into every aspect of our public health initiatives.
