The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) is proud to be featured in the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) digital series Project Remission: A Lifestyle Medicine Approach to Type 2 Diabetes, a national digital film series developed in partnership with Content With Purpose (CWP). The new initiative highlights how evidence-based lifestyle medicine can treat and, in many cases, achieve remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The full series has launched digitally this week.
The series features contributions from experts as well as 15 partner organizations, including:
- Jeanne Alongi, DrPh, MPH, Interim Chief Executive Officer, NACDD
- Susan Millstein, Diabetes Program Manager, New York State Department of Health
- John Croce, President, CPESN New York
- Partner orgs – AdventHealth, Albertsons Companies, Ardmore Institute of Health, Blue Shield of California, Blue Zones™ Health, Cecelia Health, Cronometer, Hospital for Special Surgery, Keck Graduate Institute, Kellyn, ModifyHealth, My Viva Inc., Point Loma Nazarene University, University of Mississippi Medical Center, University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville
In addition to highlighting clinical outcomes, Project Remission explores the implementation models making this work possible, including dedicated lifestyle medicine clinics, interprofessional care delivery teams, group visits and reimbursement strategies that support long-term sustainability. The series includes a dedicated explainer film clarifying the clinical definition of remission in the context of T2D and how it differs from reversal and disease management, ensuring consistency with evidence-based standards. NACDD’s film – the Neighborhood Health Revolution – showcases how collaboration among NACDD, state health departments, and community partners leads to innovative models that make evidence-based care more accessible to those who need it most. Three in-depth case studies further demonstrate how lifestyle medicine is being applied in diverse care settings to support patients in achieving remission.
NACDD’s Project Remission films are available to stream here.
