The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced the availability of $100 million to support Community Transformation Grants. In addition to smoke-free living, active living and healthy eating, these new grants will focus on high-impact, quality clinical and other preventive services, social and emotional wellness, and healthy and safe physical environments. The funding is available to support evidence- and practice-based community and clinical prevention and wellness strategies that will lead to specific, measurable health outcomes to reduce chronic disease rates.
