DDAS collaborates with the Vermont Department of Health, other state agencies, and local providers on a number of health promotion and disease prevention initiatives.

These include efforts to reduce the risk for, and burden of, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease. DDAS is an active participant on many coalitions addressing chronic diseases. Area Agencies on Aging provide funding and support to senior centers and other local providers to offer an array of health promotion and disease prevention programs.
