About Us

We know that place matters. By working together to create healthier places where we work, learn, and provide care, we can change lives.

The nonprofit Prevention Partners builds healthier communities through a suite of products that guide schools, workplaces, hospitals and clinics to address the leading causes of preventable disease: tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity and obesity. With expertise in public health and organizational change, we translate the latest prevention science into real-world practices — policies, benefits, and environmental changes. Our technology innovations have created broader access to prevention expertise while collecting unique metrics and setting national benchmarks for organizational health and behavior change.

President & CEO Meg Molloy, DrPH, MPH, RD, founded the organization in Chapel Hill, NC, in 1998 as NC Prevention Partners. We changed our name in 2014 to Prevention Partners, reflecting our broadening reach.

Our ultimate vision: Healthy places change lives. Contact us to discuss working together to make healthier communities.
