Our Next Chronic Disease Connect Webinar

Building Healthy Futures: Using Strategic Communications to Promote Infant and Young Child Nutrition

July 23, 2026
3:00-4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET)

Join NACDD’s Center for Advancing Healthy Communities to explore a national communications initiative that leveraged and optimized existing CDC State and Community Health Media Center materials to reach parents, caregivers, and families with relevant, science-based nutrition messages for infants and young children. Learn how strategic partnerships with media and marketing experts helped maximize campaign reach and engagement, discover key lessons learned, and gain practical ideas that states, territories, and their partners can use to implement similar communication efforts in their own communities.

Practice and Research Chat

All State, Territorial, and CDC-funded Prevention Research Center chronic disease staff, including but not limited to Chronic Disease Directors, program staff, and evaluators, are invited to join these informal chats to explore various topics of interest.
