Health Reform Campaign

NCDP’s Health Reform Campaign seeks to make diabetes more visible in health care reform discussions, outcomes, and implementation taking place in Washington and across the country. This campaign aims to influence the decision making of key federal lawmakers, policy leaders and those who influence them by educating them on the impact of diabetes and rallying diabetes stakeholders to advocate in a unified voice for system change. Changing health care means changing diabetes.
