Disease Prevention

Disease prevention involves actions to reduce or eliminate exposure to risks that might increase the chances that an individual or group will incur disease, disability, or premature death.

As one of the state’s local health councils, HPCNEF is tasked with bringing public awareness to the specific health needs of our Northeast Florida community. By partnering with local organizations to establish evidence-based planning, outreach, and education, HPCNEF has made a positive impact on disease prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits.
