Chronic diseases have become the U.S. greatest health threat. Heart disease is the number one killer in the country. Individuals with multiple, complex health problems use a significant share of all health care resources.

Connect with others, walk and bike safely, enjoy the outdoors, find housing options, breathe clean air, drink high-quality water, reduce their risk of injury, and make healthy eating choices
