Promoting good health and helping people learn about the health risks of chronic disease is one of our goals. We are hopeful that when people learn about risky behaviors and how to better take care of their health they will take ACTION to prevent or control these diseases and/or related problems in the body. The diseases we will focus on include:

• Heart Disease/ Stroke
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Obesity

 

 
 

Chronic diseases are among the most common and expensive health problems in the United States, and they are also some of the most preventable. Often the prevention is related to unhealthy behaviors that people can change. Getting information on the importance of increasing physical activity, healthy eating, not using or smoking tobacco, protecting your body from sun exposure and making some behavior changes can help. The Florida Department of Health in Broward County offers information on healthy living.
