Chronic diseases (such as heart disease, diabetes, strokes) are conditions that last a year or more and demand ongoing medical attention. For some people, these conditions make it harder to clean the house or mow the lawn. For others, it might stop them from being able to spend quality time with friends and family or be able to get to work. As some of the leading causes of death and disability (and health care costs), it’s paramount that Wisconsin families and communities take on the shared responsibility of working together to support everyone.
Ultimately, these conditions make it harder for Wisconsinites trying to live the life they want. But better days are ahead, and while improvement isn’t as easy as installing a bubbler, these chronic diseases can be slowed down and prevented with support from tireless and dedicated community professionals
