What We Do

We know that place matters. Our products translate the latest science into real-world practices where we work, learn, and provide care.

“Healthy employees are the most important thing our state can give employers, both current and prospective businesses.”

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, certainly. Not to mention longer, healthier lives and bottom-line savings for employers and other organizations.To build healthier places, Prevention Partners focuses on the leading causes of chronic disease and early death: tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and obesity.

Our approach to prevention is designed to accelerate change by creating executive-level tools for businesses of all sorts (hospitals, corporations, state and municipal agencies, and professional services), schools, and health care facilities. We take evidence-based research and translate it for these real-world settings, helping to embed prevention in a fast-growing number of places where people work, learn, and provide care.
