Abstract
This paper describes the strategies used in one state, Montana, to improve the health of individuals at risk for or living with chronic conditions associated with disability. These strategies demonstrate capacity to intervene at individual and environmental levels, and reveal opportunities for public health professionals to collaborate with independent living and long term care partners. In this paper we attempt to outline some of the challenges inherent in these collaborations and suggest strategies to overcome them.
