Community Transformation Grants

HHS announces $103 million for a Community Transformation Grant program. The purpose of the grants is to change the way communities promote health. Smoking cessation, healthy eating, physical activity and disease prevention are emphasized. I agree with Ken Thorpe that this is a step in the right direction for building community infrastructure for prevention.
