The National Clinical Care Commission (NCCC) was a federal advisory committee charged with leveraging federal policies and programs to more effectively prevent and control diabetes. In January 2022, the NCCC issued its final report to Congress. That transformational report contained 39 specific recommendations, including 3 foundational recommendations, that addressed the necessity of an all-of-government approach to diabetes, health equity, and access to health care. In a six-article collection published in the February issue of Diabetes Care, the NCCC shared those recommendations. Access the collection at diabetesjournals.org/collection/1586/The-Clinical-Care-Commission-Report-to-Congress.
