interventions that look upstream to stop the root causes of disease, can
reduce the burden of preventable illnesses.” The article addresses
provisions in the Affordable Care Act that promote community-based
prevention, including Community Transformation Grants. It also
highlights the role of hospitals “in making investments in prevention
through their community benefit programs.”
