Building Healthy Communities (BHC)

Projects promote changes in policies and environmental settings where we work, congregate, and live. By supporting efforts to increase physical activity, healthier eating, and reducing exposure to tobacco products, BHC impacts the cardiovascular health of our communities. BHC funds have been used for innovative projects that will address these CVD issues and reverse the negative health trends in our communities. The following projects were funded with BHC funds:
