Healthy People, Healthy Communities, Healthy Tennessee Chronic diseases are largely preventable. However, the solutions to preventing chronic diseases are not simple or quick. Places, spaces, and relationships impact chronic disease conditions and shape individual, family, and community-level situations in presenting daily health challenges.
Several contributors to chronic diseases include physical inactivity, excessive caloric intake, tobacco and nicotine addiction, and substance misuse, particularly opioid abuse. Taken together, these drive the leading causes of death in Tennessee and across the nation and resulting individual losses in years, and quality, of life.

The team should include at least one paid staff person who can handle program promotion and logistics in addition to leading programs, and one peer or lay volunteer. Organizations sending participants to a Leader training are committing to the initial 4 days of training, plus the time for coordinating and providing at least 1 six-week community programs within the following 12 months.
