Under the banner of the Preventive Health Partnership (PHP), the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association and American Heart Association are collaborating to develop and pursue strategies for the prevention and early detection of cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. One of the goals of this joint venture is to stimulate substantial improvements in primary prevention and early detection through collaboration between key organizations.

To that end, the Preventive Health Partnership (PHP) is proud to announce a strategic alliance with the Army National Guard Decade of Health (ARNG DOH). The Decade of Health (DOH) is a ten-year strategic deployable and readiness campaign supporting personal responsibility for health and wellness. The initiative’s tagline is: “Always Ready, Always There…Always HEALTHY.” This effort includes an intense media strategy, the theme and focus of which changes every year, targeted at Guard soldiers and their families designed to enhance health literacy and promote medical readiness.

The ARNG and PHP will work collaboratively to develop activities designed to support and improve the ARNG Soldier’s and their Family’s health and medical readiness as well as promote the PHP’s key messages of early detection and prevention through healthy lifestyle choices.
