NACDD PHA Georgia I

The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) is a national public health non-profit agency focused on the health of the public by strengthening state and national leadership and expertise for chronic disease prevention and control. NACDD’s core membership is composed of the 58 State and Territorial Health Department Chronic Disease Directors and their staff who protect the health of the public through primary and secondary prevention efforts and work “upstream” on root causes of chronic conditions. NACDD promotes health and reduces the burden of chronic disease through various programs and initiatives in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity and the Division of Population Health, and a team of nationally recognized experts. To enhance public health resources across the country and support state and local public health settings respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health AmeriCorps (PHA) program supports the recruitment, training, and development of the next generation of public health leaders. In partnership with a State Health Department or similar agency, local health department(s) or other community-based organization(s), and/or a local YMCA or YMCA State Alliance, Service Members will be placed across fifteen states to advance existing efforts around food and nutrition security, safe physical activity access, social connectedness, and health equity, all within the context of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Member Duties : The Service Member will support the YMCA of the Metro Atlanta programs and initiatives related to advancing healthy equity and improving health outcomes for metro Atlanta communities through improved food and nutrition security, safe physical activity access, and social connectedness. One of the Service Member’s primary roles will focus on implementation of specific health equity outcomes, to be determined in early 2025. These outcomes will impact programming as well as work in the metro Atlanta communities and will likely include collaboration with partner organizations. The other portion of this project will take place at 1 or more YMCA locations working directly with health equity program delivery. Program delivery may include, but is not limited to, supporting the Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program, member enrollment, and work with partners to schedule and implement health/screening related opportunities amongst our YMCA branches and early learning centers.
