21st Century Challenge for Healthy Aging: Balancing Living Well with the Reality of Multiple Chronic Conditions

HHS leads the Strategic Framework on Multiple Chronic Conditions, a roadmap for improving the health status of persons with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Since the Framework’s release in December 2010, HHS agencies and external partners have worked together to align their respective programs, activities, and initiatives to advance the Framework’s vision of optimizing health and quality of life for persons with MCC.
