Over 2 billion children and adolescents globally are affected by diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and the behaviors and risk factors that lead to chronic diseases later in life are often established in childhood. In this fireside chat, Sherrie Westin, President and CEO of Sesame Workshop, will sit down with Melissa Brotz, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and External Affairs at Abbott and President of Abbott Fund, plus special guest Elmo, to discuss the global opportunity to prevent chronic disease by starting with our youngest generations and building healthy habits in early childhood. This session will explore Abbott and Sesame Workshop’s unique partnership and opportunities for a broad range of stakeholders to provide children, caregivers, and communities with the strategies, resources, and tools to help prevent disease and promote habits for lifelong health.
