HEALTHY AGING AND HEALTHY BRAIN

Brain Health is Public Health

We are committed to increasing the capacity of State and Territorial Health Departments to promote healthy aging and improved quality of life for older adults and their caregivers.

CDC’s Healthy Brain Initiative was established in 2005 to improve understanding of brain health as a central part of public health practice. NACDD works together with CDC and other national partners to develop and implement the national public health strategy for brain health.
