King County Steps to Health

King County Steps to Health is a federally-funded program lead by community partners and Public Health - Seattle & King County, focusing on the areas of asthma, diabetes, obesity, nutrition, physical activity and tobacco.

Steps to Health aims to:

• reduce the impact of chronic diseases through preventing and controlling asthma, diabetes and obesity.
• promote a comprehensive approach that coordinates actions at the individual, family, clinical, school and community levels and integrates interventions addressing multiple chronic conditions.
• reduce health disparities due to chronic illness by reaching social and ethnic groups that are disproportionately affected.

The Steps Consortium is open to any organizations, agencies and individuals interested in the Steps initiative. There are currently more than 75 members, including community-based organizations, health care providers, hospitals, health plans, clinics, universities, faith-based groups, government agencies and school districts.
