- Nutrition Education
- Physical Activity or Active Living
- Quit Smoking
- Healthy Living (topics focusing on specific national health observances month)
- How to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Your organization can implement small changes that can have lasting effects on chronic disease prevention. The Chronic Disease Prevention program is available for collaboration and ongoing technical assistance to support partners in meeting their chronic disease prevention goals. Invite us to your next collaborative meeting or get in touch with us to connect on strategic approaches to help improve the lives of Fulton County residents.
Please, submit the request form 60-days in advance of your event. Requests are handled on a first-come, first-served basis and will be evaluated to determine our participation. Our office will contact you as soon as a determination is made. If the Fulton County Board of Health does not offer the services and/or is not able to provide the requested services, we may offer health literature.
