Chronic Disease Month highlights the experiences of chronic disease patients and demonstrates the many ways we can improve the healthcare system for everyone.
Sign the Petition
This Chronic Disease Month, we are calling on elected officials and policymakers across the country to listen to patients. Sign our petition and send a message that chronic disease patients deserve affordable care, fair access, and a seat at the table when healthcare decisions are made.
Send a Letter to Your Local Officials
If we want healthcare policy that works, it has to be built around the people who rely on the healthcare system every week, not the ones who rarely need it. Send a letter to your elected officials today and tell them it's time to include chronic disease patients in every health policy decision.
Chronic Disease Day Live Event
The Chronic Disease Coalition hosted a live event on Friday, July 10, 2026 featuring results from our national poll of chronic disease patients. Coalition ambassadors provided their personal perspectives to add context and color to the data, and we ended with actions you can take now during Chronic Disease Month and throughout the year.
