The Daction Community Plan
Major Goals include PREVENTING 65-70% of
Breast Cancer
Colon Cancer
Type 1 Diabetes
Multiple Sclerosis
within 5 years!
Daction Communities will have the following 3 major public health activities:
- Diagnosing & Treating Vitamin D Deficiency Seminars (2 annually in each community) to educate health care professionals.
- Monthly presentations within each community to ‘train the trainers’ in the community to help spread the word. Vitamin D testing will be done at each presentation. Invitations will be made to participate in the study (see next item).
- A 5 year study with 2000 people in the community will be done to evaluate the results of the program in disease prevention and to aid in creating a long-term plan of action for the specific community.
If you have a community where you’d like to initiate such a plan or partner with some other group that would like to get started, please let us hear from you! There are many, many places that would benefit. Contact Carole Baggerly, Director of GrassrootsHealth at carole@grassrootshealth.org.
Promote public awareness of disease prevention.
