Challenge and Solution
America is at a healthcare crossroads. Biomedical advances, technological innovations, and value-based reimbursement models are transforming how care is delivered and financed. Yet even with these
advancements, the nation faces an increased burden of chronic diseases, an aging population, and persistent health disparities.
We know health care needs to evolve, but there has been little agreement on how to move forward. Uniquely positioned at the crux of clinical practice and public health, ACPM is poised to advance
this debate around a single premise: transforming our healthcare system through prevention. We believe in preventive services available to all.
A few examples we will continue to call for:
- Population based services.
- Funding for diabetes prevention programs, as well as other diseases and illnesses.
- Tobacco prevention for youth.
- Community population health initiatives.
- Training for physicians to earn lifestyle medicine certifications.
- Availability of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) preventive care resources.
- Aggregate care prevention.

By working collaboratively with partners and stakeholders, ACPM will harness the power of prevention to save lives, create healthier communities, and transform our healthcare system.
