With access to federal, state, and local health agencies, numerous community coalitions, councils, committees, and an extensive pool of public health subject matter experts in every state and US jurisdiction, ProVention Health Foundation is uniquely positioned to drive sustainable change.

"ProVention is thrilled to join forces with MMC in our shared vision of improving public health," said John Patton, Executive Director at ProVention Health Foundation. "We've seen the progress that has been made with our diabetes education and awareness programs. By combining our resources and expertise, we are confident that we can make an extraordinary impact on the lives of individuals and communities in need across areas like cardiovascular health, oncology, vaccine administrations, and more."

The strategic partnership between MMC and ProVention will focus on the following key areas:

1. Initiation of new programs focused on improved public health outcomes: Through this partnership, MMC and ProVention will collaborate to develop and implement innovative programs that target critical public health challenges, such as cardiovascular health and obesity, as well as maternal and child health.

Data sharing for creative problem-solving: Recognizing the immense power of data in identifying and driving effective healthcare solutions, MMC and ProVention will proactively facilitate robust data sharing initiatives.
