Chronic diseases are among the most prevalent and costly health conditions in the United States. Nearly half of Americans suffer from at least one chronic condition, and the number is growing. Chronic diseases—such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, respiratory diseases, arthritis, obesity, and oral diseases—can lead to hospitalization, long-term disability, reduced quality of life and, often, death.1 In fact, such persistent conditions are the nation’s leading causes of death and disability.
