Chronic Disease Title Screen
In a striking example of the health gap between rural and urban Americans, data from the CDC demonstrates that Americans living in rural areas are more likely to die from chronic disease than their urban counterparts. Many of these deaths were likely preventable.
For example, healthcare providers in rural areas can:
- Screen patients for high blood pressure and make control a quality improvement goal.
- Increase cancer prevention and early detection.
- Encourage physical activity and healthy eating to reduce obesity.
- Promote smoking cessation.
- Promote motor vehicle safety.
- Engage in safer prescribing of opioids for pain.
