Impact on NCDs at City and National Levels

  1. Immediate Citywide Impact:
    • Reduction in NCD Prevalence: With 100,000 participants in NYC, there will be a tangible reduction in the number of people with preventable chronic conditions, leading to improved public health outcomes across the city.
    • Community Health Awareness: The program will raise awareness across boroughs, creating a culture of health-consciousness that spreads beyond the participants to their families and communities.
  2. National Impact:
    • As the program scales across the U.S., the impact will ripple across the nation, reducing the nationwide burden of chronic diseases. With ongoing education, health data collection, and grassroots momentum, this could transform the U.S. healthcare system, reducing the need for costly medical interventions.
  3. Economic Benefits:
    • Reduced healthcare spending on NCDs.
    • Increased productivity and reduced absenteeism from work.
    • Savings in public health costs, including lower rates of disability and early mortality.

Comparison to the Cost of Treating NCDs

Treating an individual with an NCD like diabetes or hypertension over the course of a lifetime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. The upfront cost of $10,000 per participant for prevention is drastically more cost-effective.

  • For example: The lifetime cost of managing type 2 diabetes in an individual is around $130,000. The cost of preventing it through the Celebrate Health program is $10,000 per person, which is a reduction of over 90% in lifetime healthcare costs.
