Chronic Disease Day, observed annually on July 10 (7/10), is a national awareness and advocacy initiative dedicated to addressing the significant impact of chronic diseases in the United States.

 

The date underscores a critical statistic: seven out of 10 deaths in the U.S. are caused by chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, which collectively claim more than 1.7 million lives each year.

About Chronic Disease Day

Established and led by Good Days since 2014, the initiative focuses on the urgent need to reduce preventable chronic conditions, which account for over 90% of U.S. healthcare spending. Chronic Disease Day brings together a broad coalition of stakeholders—including patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, advocacy organizations, industry and policymakers—to drive awareness, improve access to care, and advance policy solutions that lead to better health outcomes.

Events

With chronic illness reaching a tipping point, we’re bringing Chronic Disease Day to states across the country to raise awareness about ways we can build healthier communities across the country and expand access to care solutions for those in need.
