Health Promotion & Disease Prevention (HPDP)
Healthy living matters. Prevention works.
Our Veteran Health Promotion Disease Prevention program is one of the most powerful tools you can use to improve your overall well-being. The program is based on our whole health approach to care and our healthy living messages which provide basic knowledge to prevent illness and slow disease progression.
