Federal Grants for Health & Wellness

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sebelius announced in late September that $373 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be used to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, decrease obesity, and decrease smoking in U.S. communities. Local and State Health Departments can apply for funding from this comprehensive public health initiative titled Communities Putting Prevention to Work.
