At the NACDD, we believe in the power of sharing what works because progress doesn’t happen in silos. Through a comprehensive technical assistance approach supported by CDC funding, NACDD’s Arthritis Team has been helping states strengthen their arthritis programs.

Every #FathersDay, I honor my father Jonas Robitscher—psychiatrist, lawyer, health visionary. He taught us wellness before it was a trend. I still run the Peachtree Road Race to stay connected to his footsteps. Thank you, Dad. I’m still running the path you started.

Today is #NationalCallYourDoctorDay—a simple reminder that could make a life-changing difference. One phone call to your doctor today could mean catching a condition early, managing risks better, or just gaining the peace of mind that you’re on the right track. #PreventiveHeatlh

#ServantLeadership means that you help build the ladder. Trying to climb it before everyone else can is missing the point, and also missing the opportunity to watch people excel and grow in ways you can help facilitate.

#Prevention isn’t a cost, it’s a smart investment. From reducing #ChronicDisease to building stronger communities, prevention saves lives and money. It keeps people healthy, productive, and engaged. Let’s invest in prevention. It’s a return we can all be proud of. #PreventionPays.

True progress in health means focusing on prevention, not just treatment. Real impact begins at the source—addressing problems before they arise. Early action and strong community relationships are key. Prevention is powerful. Let’s lead with it. #Uncaged
