Preventing chronic disease is influenced by the systems and environments that shape how people access nutritious food, engage in safe physical activity, and receive supportive healthcare. These systems create conditions that make healthy behaviors more achievable and sustainable for individuals and communities.
On June 3, 2026, the Kentuckiana Health Collaborative hosted a forum to explore how healthcare stakeholders can strengthen chronic disease prevention by expanding access to nutrition and physical activity support, improving connections between clinical and community resources, and advancing policies that promote supportive environments. The discussion highlighted opportunities for action and identified shared priorities that can align stakeholders and accelerate systemwide approaches to chronic disease prevention. This forum was hosted in partnership with the Kentucky Department for Public Health State Physical Activity and Nutrition Program.
