New Mexico Chronic Disease Prevention Council
The New Mexico Chronic Disease Prevention Council (CDPC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing chronic disease prevention in New Mexico. Its mission is to reduce common risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, lung diseases, and conditions related to obesity and tobacco use[2][3].
Purpose and Activities
The CDPC serves as a coordinating body, fostering collaboration among agencies and organizations involved in chronic disease prevention and management. It advocates for policies and programs aimed at preventing chronic diseases and supports initiatives that address social determinants impacting these conditions[1][2]. The council also works to break down silos by creating a forum for collaboration and communication across different disease-specific areas[5].
Strategic Planning and Outreach
The CDPC has developed the New Mexico Shared Strategic Plan (NMSSP) for Prevention and Control of Chronic Diseases. This plan focuses on a whole-system approach to reduce the burden of chronic diseases by targeting common risk factors that affect multiple conditions[1]. As part of its outreach efforts, the CDPC launched the "Take Action for Healthy New Mexico" campaign. This initiative includes educational videos featuring individuals managing multiple chronic conditions, aiming to raise awareness and provide accessible resources to the community. The campaign promotes a holistic approach to chronic disease management and encourages community engagement and support[1].
Impact and Goal
The ultimate goal of the New Mexico Chronic Disease Prevention Council is to empower New Mexicans to create healthier communities by reducing the prevalence of chronic diseases. Through its collaborative efforts and awareness campaigns, the council seeks to promote health equity and improve health outcomes across the state[1][3].
Governance and Structure
While specific details about the governance structure and leadership of the CDPC are not publicly outlined in the available sources, it operates under the guidance of a mission-focused framework. This framework emphasizes collaboration and community engagement as key components of its strategy[4][5].
Funding and Resources
The CDPC seeks funding to expand its initiatives, including the creation of additional educational resources and enhancing its online presence. This financial support is essential for implementing the strategic plan and executing outreach campaigns effectively[1].
